Print business cards — still essential at European and Asian trade shows
Download the show app (if available) and pre-plan your route by hall/booth
Bring a notebook or tablet to record supplier details and fabric swatches
Follow up with suppliers within 48 hours while contacts are fresh
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Première Vision Paris (September) is the gold standard — it has the widest range of fabric suppliers and is where established and emerging brands alike source materials. For a US-focused brand, MAGIC Las Vegas offers both sourcing and buyer connections. If you're specifically looking for manufacturing partners, Texworld Paris is more focused on production sourcing.
