A handful of chairs. No stage. A conversation, not a lecture.
That's the "campfire" session format at Advanced Textiles Expo, and it's where some of the most honest exchange happens.

One session we're hosting closely compares how North America and Europe are funding e-textile innovation—bringing together experts from NC State and the University of Southampton for a discussion you can actively join. It's intimate, candid, and the kind of exchange that sparks real partnerships.

The future of material innovation is being shaped by the need for both performance and sustainability.

Emerging biobased fire-retardant technologies are helping manufacturers rethink what's possible while meeting demanding safety standards. Interesting developments from the advanced materials sector.

Finding a fire retardant that performs to Class A standards without halogenated additives has been one of the toughest challenges in technical textiles. That may be changing. A session at Advanced Textiles Expo will present new biobased FR formulations that are achieving strong flame resistance, durable char, and low smoke—using clean, scalable chemistry.

Satish Hodage of YUJ Labs, who has spent 27 years developing and commercializing chemical technologies, will lead the session. He'll explain how these formulations integrate into woven, knit, nonwoven, and composite products. If flame retardancy is part of your product specification, this is a conversation you want to be part of.
