TECHNICAL REPORT
INAUGURAL INDA NETS CONFERENCE TO FOCUS ON ENERGY
In response to a recent survey in which nonwovens and textile industry executives cited energy costs as their number one concern, INDA is sponsoring the inaugural New Energy Technologies & Sustainability (NETS) Conference. The three-day event is set for October 28-30, 2008 at the Raleigh Marriott City Center in Raleigh, N.C.The NETS Conference will focus on how companies can learn to cut costs immediately and to establish long-term energy and sustainability strategies. A focus of the event will be the Table-top displays, where attendees will have the opportunity to meet with companies that provide products to reduce energy costs.
INDA is teaming up with North Carolina State University's Industrial Extension Service (IES). As experts in energy as well as in nonwovens and textiles, IES will bring together a line-up of knowledgeable speakers to address the energy cost challenges being faced by companies today.
“NETS is designed especially for the nonwovens and textiles industry and the program will be specific to the needs of this market,” points out INDA President Rory Holmes. “The challenge of rising energy costs will continue to be a priority for our business and this conference will help identify both short- and long-term solutions for our industry.”
There will be two tracks as part of the NETS Conference — Management and Technical. Attendees from the nonwoven and textile industry will include top management, energy managers, plant engineers, project/process engineers and industrial engineers.

IDEA10 IS ‘GOING GREEN’
As exhibitor confirmations for IDEA10 continue at a rapid pace, INDA is putting special emphasis on identifying and recruiting “green” companies that make sustainability and energy efficiency part of their corporate philosophy and product development.
The IDEA10 International Engineered Fabrics Conference and Expo, scheduled for April 27-29, 2010 in the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, Fla., will once again bring together all links of the global supply chain for products and services, including raw materials, machinery/equipment, engineered fabrics, converted products and services.
In 2010, the event, held in the U.S. every three years, will place a special emphasis on how the industry's companies are adapting to and solving today's energy challenges around the world.
“In a recent INDA survey, 66% of top executives told us that rising energy costs are their number one problem,” says Marilyn Bellinger, INDA Associate Director of Sales. “IDEA10 will be an ideal time for all of these companies to learn about the technologies that will help them deal with this challenge.”
With all of the major companies that supply, use and convert engineered fabrics all in one place at one time, “IDEA10 will serve as a 'green' meeting place for the nonwovens industry,” Bellinger adds. “Any company whose products are specifically designed to reduce energy consumption and costs in the manufacturing of nonwoven fabrics will find a receptive global audience at IDEA10.”
INDA is already addressing the energy costs inherent in the nonwovens industry with its first-ever New Energy Technologies & Sustainability International Conference October 28-30, 2008 in Raleigh, N.C. (see item above). That program will focus on answering both the economic and technical questions companies are currently facing and more than 200 decision-makers are expected to attend this inaugural event.
IDEA10 will be taking that concept to the next level with full displays and presentations from these energy-focused suppliers whose products reduce energy costs and the industry's impact on the environment.
