Momentum for growth

The Functional Fabric Fair is the North American sister show of Performance Days, Europe’s leading sourcing platform for high-performance textiles and sustainable innovations. All editions – from Portland to New York City, and now Orlando – follow a clear concept: certified sustainability standards, future-oriented materials, and a strong educational program with expert speakers and industry insights. This international expansion highlights the continued demand for responsible product development and innovative sourcing formats – a mission Performance Days has championed from the very beginning.

The organizers are proud to announce that the upcoming Performance Days in Munich, taking place on October 29–30, 2025, is already completely sold out. The demand underscores a clear message: the industry is ready for change, innovation, and sustainable solutions.

An event packed with highlights:

- Conference focused on waste (“In nature there is no waste”)

- Special themed areas covering key industry topics

- Expert Talks featuring top-level speakers

- Hands-on workshops for practical exchange

- The Trend Forum with a brand-new Focus Topic (“Textile to Textile – the role of recyclers”)

Back to the roots: from Golf to Performance

The roots of the Functional Fabric Fair can be traced back to the PGA Show, where in 2016 a dedicated raw materials area was introduced for the first time. It quickly became a hotspot for performance innovations – growing in size and industry relevance. By 2018, the success of this initiative led to the launch of Functional Fabric Fair as an independent platform.
