Organizers have rescheduled the 66th Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress in Austria for September 14-16, 2027. This change ensures the event no longer overlaps with the ITMA 2027 exhibition in Hanover.
Why it matters
Adjusting the dates allows industry professionals and researchers to attend both major events within the same week. This coordination simplifies travel logistics for international delegates participating in global materials research.
The 66th edition of the congress will feature five core themes centered on fiber innovations, circular economy practices, and recycling technologies. Participants will engage with scientific research and industrial applications at the Kulturhaus Dornbirn.
