The 8th edition of the International Conference on Intelligent Textiles and Mass Customisation (ITMC) 2021, to be held during September 20-22 in Montreal, will focus on intelligent textiles and mass customisation. The conference is being organised by CTT Group, a Canadian technology transfer leader specialising in R and D, and analysis of technical textiles.

The ITMC 2021 conference is currently planned as an in-person event. The organisers are closely following government recommendations regarding health security and will postpone the event in 2022, if needed.

“We are honoured to host this unique conference and encourage business, research institutions and organisations from around the globe to take part in lively exchanges of ideas and experiences during ITMC 2021. Thanks to its interdisciplinary approach, the conference represents a unique opportunity to share innovative solutions aimed at fostering the development of technical textiles for various applications,” says Valerio Izquierdo, vice president, Business Development and Partnership, CTT Group. Participants are encouraged to submit abstract papers before March 5, 2021.

During ITMC 2021, participants will explore new ideas and partnerships for business growth by catalysing the creation of a beneficial synergy between designers, manufacturers, suppliers and end-users of all sectors.

ITMC conference themes are based on intelligent textiles and mass customisation. Key topics include comfort; composite and textile reinforcement; medical textiles; personal protective equipment; smart and functional textiles; bio-sourced, bio-degradable and eco-textiles; advanced technical textiles; nanotechnology; sustainable and advanced manufacturing processes; supply chain management; logistics; mass customisation; e-commerce; digital solutions and education and training methodology.

“International events such as the ITMC 2021 contribute to the growth and influence of the Québec textile industry. I am convinced the participating Québec organisations will benefit from this unique platform to showcase their leadership and innovative solutions and establish strategic partnerships that will strengthen their competitive edge here and internationally,” says Dany Charest, general manager of TechniTextile Québec, the Technical Textile Materials Cluster.
