“Excellent convention, well organised, well attended, relevant and valuable. The informal conversations over lunch or in the evening are just as important as the formal presentations. As a relatively new entrant into the market, the ability to network and discuss the market, it's players and it's needs are all important.”
Paul Farrell, Carrington Textiles Ltd
“The NAUMD is the fastest and the most economical platform to make quality industry contacts in a vast country like the USA. The annual convention should be a must visit for the opportunity it provides to meet, engage and discuss with industry professionals from the world over."
