IDEA is an essential North American event focused on nonwoven materials and sustainability. The event is where participants worldwide come to explore emerging industry trends, foster innovation and enhance their know-how on industry topics. Miami Beach Convention Center’s halls will greet exhibitors and participants for the next edition of IDEA from 29 April to 1 May 2025. IDEA 2025 will be held in parallel with FiltXPO - another key North American event dedicated exclusively to filtration and separation.
At IDEA 2025, industry leaders and experts will discuss the future of nonwoven materials and how they influence the development of different industry sectors. Over 500 exhibitors will display raw materials, products, and innovative technologies to an international audience, mainly from North America and Europe.
IDEA®25 will host multiple workshops, competitions, and side events. Rich learning opportunities covering crucial nonwoven areas will be offered one day before the official expo opening:
- Nonwovens 101: a boot camp aimed at rising companies and first-time expo attendees. It will present nonwoven fabrics from A to Z, including types, materials, manufacturing processes, key characteristics, and properties;
- Baby & Adult Care Absorbent Hygiene Systems: the workshops will highlight different absorbent technologies used in disposable hygiene products;
- Wet Wipes 101: a course that will overview all about wet wipes in the post-pandemic era: advanced materials, lotion formulations, and manufacturing processes, especially plastic-free solutions.
