The textile industry's most comprehensive summer sourcing destination returns to New York City this July, bringing together Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, Home Textiles Sourcing NYC, and Printsource for three days of global sourcing, trend discovery, education, and industry connection. Taking place July 29–31 at the Javits Center, attendees will enjoy complimentary access to four dynamic events featuring 425+ international exhibitors, specialty sourcing opportunities, trend forecasting, hands-on workshops, and thought-provoking educational programming designed to inspire the future of fashion and textiles.
This year's event is particularly special as Texworld NYC celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of connecting the global textile and apparel community through innovation, inspiration, and meaningful business opportunities.

"As we celebrate 20 years of Texworld NYC, we're also celebrating the incredible global community of designers, brands, manufacturers, and industry leaders that have shaped the event into what it is today," said Jennifer Bacon, Vice President, Fashion and Apparel Shows at Messe Frankfurt Inc. "This milestone edition reflects our continued commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for sourcing, education, and collaboration while creating space for the conversations and innovations that will define the future of the industry."
