“ITMA 2003 will be a landmark event for the textile industry which all key textile personnel should attend,” says Chris Byrne, managing textile consultant at Web Consulting. “We appreciate the need for textile executives to make their visits as cost-effective as possible, so we will filter the most relevant digital textile data and provide impartial answers to burning questions. People who can afford to spend four or five days at ITMA may manage to find out everything they need by themselves. We are concentrating on services for those with less time, or who need totally impartial advice.” (Web Consulting: www.webconsulting.co.uk; ITMA 2003: www.itmalive.com)
