Reflecting the coverage of our monthly consulting services, our conference will feature papers on a number of fibres including those in acrylics, carbon, nylon, polyester, polypropylene, spandex and viscose as well as the raw materials for these. There will also be coverage of wool from a leading industry expert and of cotton from the PCI Group's own specialist, as well as a strategic view from one of Hong Kong's leading commentators. In addition, this year we have two new items in the programme. There is a panel discussion on feedstock supply and also a workshop on the fibres and textiles supplies being generated in China.
