The fourth edition of h+h Americas is gearing up to be a record-breaking event, with significant milestones achieved well ahead of schedule. Currently, the event has attracted 310 exhibitors from 23 countries, marking a remarkable growth rate of over 55%. This surge in participation includes over 60 first-time exhibitors, underscoring the event’s expanding appeal within the handicraft industry in the US.
Education remains a cornerstone of h+h Americas, with the Craft Industry Alliance preparing innovative and enriching educational sessions. Upgrades to the Master Class program are underway to provide enhanced value and a more comprehensive curriculum, aimed at fostering professional development and business growth. Business classes will continue to offer insightful content tailored to support the community.
Additionally, the inaugural Content Creator Summit, in collaboration with GoSadi, will explore the intersection of textiles, fiber arts, and technology through presentations, panels, and networking opportunities. The summit will also feature a "Brand Mix & Matching Mixer," facilitating new partnerships, followed by an exclusive show floor preview.
Among the highlights are new national pavilions, with debuts from Japan and Thailand alongside the established German Pavilion.
