IDEA Show 2027: The Top Event for Nonwovens and Engineered Fabrics

IDEA Show 2027 is for the nonwovens and engineered fabrics industry. The trade fair will take place from March 23-25, 2027 at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, MO. The organizer of the trade fair is INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry. IDEA Show is known as North America’s leading event for anyone selling or manufacturing nonwoven materials. The show is for raw material suppliers, machinery makers, and brand owners to exhibit and connect with a large number of buyers from across the USA. The last edition, held in Miami Beach, drew over 550 exhibitors and more than 5,300 attendees, and the 2027 show is set to be even bigger.

The show floor covers a wide range of products: nonwoven fabrics, raw materials, machinery, and engineered materials used in filtration, hygiene products, car interiors, and industrial applications. At IDEA Show 2027, Durables District is a new, dedicated section for companies working in long-life nonwovens, engineered fabrics, and machinery fabrics. Alongside the exhibits, there’s a full conference program covering innovation and sustainability, plus live equipment demos and networking sessions where buyers and sellers can crack deals quickly. Kansas City is also having a big year on its own, as the city hosted the 2026 FIFA World Cup and will host the 2027 NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite 8 events, so the venue and the town around it will be ready for a crowd.

frequently asked questions

Companies across the nonwoven and engineered fabrics supply chain exhibit here, including raw material suppliers, machinery makers, and manufacturers serving filtration, hygiene, automotive, and industrial markets.
Yes. Custom booth designs need approval from the venue and show organizers before move-in, so it’s best to submit your plans early.
Yes, live demos are a regular part of the show floor. Just plan your booth layout with enough open space for equipment and visitors to gather safely.
You can arrange furniture, power, internet, shipping, and labor through the show’s official vendors, and it’s smart to book these well ahead of the deadlines.
Start at least three to four months out. This gives enough time for design approval, booth construction, and shipping before the show opens.
