With great pleasure, we announce that JIAM 2012 is being held in Osaka. Moreover, to this textile city, we will be welcoming visitors from Japan and overseas at a comfortable time when the summer heat has eased.
We hope that everyone who attends JIAM will also take advantage of their visit to enjoy Japan and the special charms of Osaka and Kansai. Including the first exhibition held in 1984 there have been nine JIAM shows. During this quarter century, visitors and participants have come to see JIAM as the place to get hot news about the latest technological innovations and newly developed machines and textiles. Owing to its drawing power and the support of all the participants, JIAM has become one of the world's major international apparel machine trade shows. Celebrating its tenth time around, a new-look JIAM 2012 invites visitors from all over the world, including Japan and Asian countries, to witness the latest technological developments and innovative offerings from apparel and textile machinery manufacturers and carry this news around the world.
The theme of JIAM 2012 is CREATIVE LINKAGE - Innovative Technology for a Prosperous and Comfortable Lifestyle. Besides displays of innovative products featuring brand-new technology, the new-look JIAM aims to bring about collaboration and integration with related industries by organizing joint exhibits of materials and processed products. A sensational 'stage for the textile and fashion industries,' JJIAM 2012 will be an international trade show 'where visitors can make new discoveries and find key ideas for further business development.'
Designed to help our sector achieve sustainability and prosperity, as well as promoting greater 'safety, security, and comfort' provided by the textile and apparel industries, JIAM 2012 will also showcase state-of-the-art technology for protecting the global environment.
Along with exhibitions concerned with machinery related to sewing and to the textile and apparel industries, you will find a special corner of the show devoted to getting out news about the very latest developments in Japanese technology. Meanwhile, a program of symposiums, seminars, and other events is being scheduled. And, for the large numbers of overseas visitors, industrial tours and factory visits are being planned.
With a cordial welcome, we look forward to seeing you at JJIAM 2012. You will find yourself in a forum where you can meet the people you need to know. At this launch pad for ideas and information, you can present, acquire, and spread the news latest about the latest technology and systems developed in Japan and other countries. If you are in the textile and apparel industry, it will provide an ideal opportunity to find keys that unlock the doors to business success. The organizers are confident that JIAM 2012 will generate ample business opportunities to all who attend.
