Kuşadası, Türkiye
IITAS 2026 seeks to bridge the knowledge of tradition and the dynamism of innovation in the textile and apparel sector. By convening leading scientists, researchers, industry representatives, and aspiring engineers, we aim to create a strong interaction environment where scientific developments addressing the harmony and transformation between traditional production methods and emerging technologies such as innovation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence are shared.
Our symposium will go beyond academic exchange; it will offer a welcoming space where the foundations of new collaborations, creative ideas, and lasting friendships are laid.
We warmly invite you, our valuable researchers and industry representatives, to share your knowledge and experience on this platform, present your original studies, and contribute to the scientific interaction network.
We would be greatly honored to welcome you as part of the IITAS 2026 community.
