Healthcare and Hygene Textiles and Clothing
30-31 July, Coimbatore, India
PSG College of Technology hosts the conference, in collaboration with The University of Bolton, which aims at focusing on the current and potential future innovations within the healthcare and medical textile sectors. Medical textiles are one of the burgeoning sectors within the technical textiles industry. The use of textile materials for medical and healthcare products ranges from simple gauze or bandage to scaffolds for tissue culturing and a large variety of prostheses for permanent body implants. The scope of hygiene textiles embraces all textile materials used in health and hygiene applications in both consumer and medical markets, which is an emerging multidisciplinary field with tremendous potential.

The changing shape and size of children, the introduction of ever more complex European standards and regulations combined with the ever present need to produce 'safe', desirable and affordable children's fashion are presenting retailers, brands and their suppliers with serious commercial and design challenges. The ASBCI childrenswear seminar will bring together some of the sectors most successful, knowledgeable and influential speakers who have agreed to share their expertise to help the supply chain tackle the most pressing childrenswear issues. The one-day seminar will define the current global and UK childrenswear market, give an update on sizing and fit demographics and practices, explore the latest designs and technologies, evaluate the value of licensing, explain the implications of recent European 'safety' standards and examine the role of testing houses in the risk assessment process.

The TI Parliamentary Lunch
5 November 2010, London.
The Textile Institute, UK Region, will be holding the annual Parliamentary Lunch at the House of Lords on Friday, 5th November 2010. The luncheon will be held in the Cholmondeley Room and on the Terrace, hosted by The Lord Haskel (CText ATI), a past World President, whose generous assistance enables the use of the venue.
The annual Lunch is a popular event, which holds a prominent place in The Textile Institute calendar. As an international organisation we are particularly pleased that this event provides an opportunity for many to come from outside the UK and enjoy a weekend in London as well. This year the event will be held the day after the close of The Centenary World Conference in Manchester and as such we expect an even higher level of demand than the previous year when the Lunch saw record attendance taking every available place.
We would like to emphasise that the Lunch is not restricted to members and allows senior executives from both business and education, whether members or not, to network in a splendid environment, and perhaps offer hospitality to clients or customers.

SEMINARS FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS IN TEXTILES
INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE AND NEW TECHNOLOGY IN TEXTILES & FASHION
Wednesday, 20 October, Manchester
Friday, 24 November, London
The Textile Institute recognises that it is difficult for teachers to keep up to date with the technological developments currently taking place in the world of fashion and textiles. For teachers in the UK the move of manufacturing off shore has increased the difficulty by making factory visits harder to organise. Along with this there is whole set of new issues concerning ethical and sustainable production methods and practices.
We believe it to be important to maintain the teaching of textiles in secondary schools and therefore continue to offer support to teachers in the form of one day seminars. We hope that these will throw light on some of the new technologies as well as describing what happens in modern industry. They will also show where traditional craft skills are still relevant and point out the broad range of career opportunities available.
In autumn 2010 we are offering two high quality seminars, one in Manchester on Wednesday 20 October and one in London on 24 November. The programmes are not identical and are not yet finalised. Topics to be covered will include the following but some may be available in only one location:
TV costume design and production (for example: how costumes are made for programmes such as BBC Strictly Come Dancing)
Smart materials
Textile testing
Knitwear and trend forecasting
Colour management
Combine the seminar with one year's schools' membership of the Institute at a considerably reduced rate,
OR
Simply book the seminar at the member or non-member rate.
Please note that the acceptance of the membership offer will allow the school to nominate a member of staff who will not only be able to participate in one seminar but also attend other seminars in the year at the member rate, and stay in touch with industry by enjoying the benefits of individual membership.
