BREAKING NEWS:
FUTURE FABRICS EXPO 2026 IS ON THE MOVE!
In the spirit of much-needed industry collaboration to drive positive change along the fashion and textile supply chain at scale, Future Fabrics Expo 2026 will take place on 24-25th June at the Brussels Expo venue in Belgium. It will run alongside the Textiles Recycling Expo, Europe’s dedicated exhibition and conference focused entirely on textile recycling.
This step allows us to reach an ever-larger audience, accelerating the transition to a decarbonised, nature-positive and circular economy with positive impact on people and planet. It will amplify the Future Fabrics Expo and its mission to enable the textile and fashion industries to move away from fossil-fuel based, conventionally farmed materials and towards a more innovative, diversified fibre portfolio fit to operate within planetary boundaries.
What to Expect:
- The same visual identity and visitor experience, over 10,000 materials displayed from around 150 exhibitors, curated areas, open-source educational content and knowledge sharing.
- The same expansive scale and open layout on over 3300m2 of venue space, happening alongside Textiles Recycling Expo, a premier platform to showcase the latest innovations in Textile to Textile solutions, thought leadership, and collaboration opportunities.
- Our popular Seminar Series and the Innovation Hub will return, as well as specially curated display areas and installations such as: the Innovation Hive; the Home, Interiors & Lifestyle area; the Footwear Hub; focus on circularity; and a dedicated Regenerative Agriculture Area.
- We will showcase some of the leading solutions and innovations coming out of the UK and to champion this work on an international stage.
- Free ticketing, plus visitors can access both shows over two days in the same venue (with separate registrations, each valid for both events).
That's a wrap!
