Edana's OUTLOOK 2024 expected to attract over 500 nonwoven professionals for discussions on innovations, challenges in personal care, hygiene, wipes during show, Sept. 24-26, in Rome; new for 2024, event will feature an exhibition space for 20 companies

OUTLOOK™2024, which will take place from Tuesday 24 to Thursday 26 September this year, opened for registration last month. New for 2024, the event will feature an exhibition space, offering 20 companies the unique opportunity to showcase their expertise and connect directly with delegates.

Since its inception almost 25 years ago, OUTLOOK™ has earned its reputation as the world’s premier nonwovens personal care, hygiene, and wipes conference. It gathers over 500 nonwovens professionals in one location every year for a week of discussions on the latest innovations and challenges impacting the absorbent hygiene products and wet wipes nonwovens segments.

This year, the event will be in Rome, Italy, at the Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria hotel; rooms are available at preferential EDANA rates. In addition to the exhibition space, companies that have registered at least one delegate may also book a meeting room to organize confidential business meetings during the conference. Spaces are limited, so don’t wait to reserve your spot.

The programme, which will be published in the summer, will retain the same structure as in 2023; the agenda and timings were slightly adapted to allow more time for networking, without missing out on the presentations.

OUTLOOK™ 2023 took place on 18-20 October in Portugal and gathered delegates from 193 companies and 32 countries across the nonwovens hygiene and personal care products value chain. Returning visitors shared positive feedback on why they keep coming back, with Rahul Bansal, Grasim Industries, noting:

“I'm a regular visitor. It has been a phenomenal show. We are fibre suppliers to the hygiene and the wipes industry, and this is the one platform where we can find all our customers and the value chain [in one place]. We meet our customers often because we deal with them directly, but [being able to] meet the value chain, machinery suppliers, and the entire industry at one platform, I think only EDANA can do it, and that's why we love this show.”
