The beginning of autumn this time around is bringing something truly special, particularly for the textile industry. SEAMS (Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas, and AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) are collaborating for an Annual Conference in Savannah, Georgia.
SEAMS consists of more than 300 of America’s foremost fashion brands, retailers, manufacturers and textile providers that serve as a formidable force since last 50 years. Conversely, AATCC develops internationally recognized tests and standards for textiles with core focus on dyeing, finishing, and quality control.

Why This Conference Matters
The AATCC & SEAMS Annual Conference 2025 event marks a significant debut of collaboration between the two leading institutions in textiles and sewn products. AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) and SEAMS (Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas).
The inaugural event comes at a crucial moment amid global economic developments, political shifts, and regional alliances. There is no denying how trade disruptions, rising costs, and shrinking margins continue to reshape the apparel and textile landscape.
Amid this dynamic and rather uncertain backdrop, Fabricating the Future is more than a conference. It’s a timely platform to navigate challenges, provide solutions, and uncover opportunity. Industry experts from fashion, textile, and supply chain will discuss policy, trade, sustainability, color performance, and emerging technologies.
How often do you come across a gathering that brings almost everything together from research, industrial practice, regulation, innovation, and market demand?
If your brand is focused on quality, resilience, and future-ready strategy, then come together to connect, collaborate, and co-create what comes next.
