Innovation on the RISE

RISE 2013 – the Research, Innovation and Science for Engineered Fabrics Conference – will be held September 30-October 3, 2013, at the Grand Hyatt in Denver, Colorado USA.

Organised by INDA, RISE is a one-of-a-kind technical conference for professionals in the nonwoven/engineered fabric industry who scout for new ideas, new technology, new materials and new applications to grow their businesses.
It aims to provide an array of mind-expanding industry relevant topics that will keep business growth professionals on the leading edge of thought leadership. Some of the topics this year include:
•    Revolutionary 3D textile printing technology
•    Market trends that are driving innovation in nonwovens
•    Simple, cost-efficient RFID tagging for hygiene applications
•    Microfluidic-fabric interfacial technology for biofluid manipulation
•    Next generation nanofibre applications
•    New roles for nanoparticles in polymer processing

“RISE brings together many diverse members of the global nonwovens and engineered fabrics supply chain and those touching this dynamic area,” said INDA president Dave Rousee. “There are thought-provoking discussions on technical innovations and practical product applications. RISE also provides many opportunities to interact in person with like-minded executives looking to advance their business.”

A new feature at RISE 2013 will be a tour of the Johns Manville Technical Center to be conducted on Monday, September 30th. RISE attendees will see Johns Manville’s five specialised areas of technical services which are internationally accredited and equipped with modern instrumentation and very knowledgeable professionals.

Space is limited and places will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. INDA will host a tour of Coors Field followed by a welcome reception Monday night for all attendees to network before RISE kicks off officially Tuesday morning.
