Composites promotional organization JEC Group, Paris, will colocate its spring 2014 JEC Americas Composites Show & Conferences with Atlanta-based trade show organizer Messe Frankfurt Inc. North America's biennial Techtextil North America 2014 and Texprocess Americas trade shows and symposiums, to be held May 13-15, 2014, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
The first two JEC Americas shows and conferences were held in Boston, first in a colocation with IFAI Expo Americas 2012 in November 2012, and as a stand-alone event held in early October 2013. This year's event featured 341 exhibitors and attracted 4,155 attendees from 56 countries and 36 states.
Going forward, JEC plans to hold two events annually: a spring show and conference focused on composites manufacturing; and a fall conference focused on design. The spring 2014 event will include the Innovative Composites Summit Conferences, JEC Americas Innovation Awards and JEC Americas Innovation Showcase.
The fall 2014 JEC Americas Composites Conferences will take place Oct. 28-29, 2014, in Boston.
