AISEX & FASE 2018 innovative apparel industry exhibition kicks off
The Apparel Industry Suppliers Exhibition (AISEX) and Fabric and Accessories Suppliers Exhibition (FASE) opened yesterday, at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre, at the BMICH.
Held biannually since the year 1998, the eighth edition of AISEX & FASE 2018 will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, big and small, focused on the development of the industry together.
The exhibition will feature major machinery suppliers and service providers to the apparel industry. The visitors would be able to access, experience and learn firsthand about the products and services available in Sri Lanka, while meeting and networking with the key personnel working in the industry.
For the first time, a conference under the theme ‘Helping local brands and manufactures compete in the South Asian Region’ will be held alongside the exhibition at the BMICH.
The latest in fabric, accessories, cutting-edge apparel-related technology and productivity improvement will be the focus of the conference sessions. Top Sri Lankan personalities shaping the industry and several speakers from overseas are due to make presentations during the conference.
The organisers hope that through these conference sessions, the next generation of entrepreneurs, designers, innovators and trend setters, will be inspired while in turn inspiring the current industry leaders with visions of the industry’s future.
Organised and managed by Lanka Exhibition & Conference Services in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Apparel Institute, the event has secured endorsements from the Joint Apparel Association Forum, Industry and Commerce Ministry, National Chamber of Exporters and Sri Lanka Apparel Exporters’ Association.
The organiser’s vision is to make the biannual event a platform and launch pad for the industry.
