TLDR

What this page covers, at a glance

ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 brings together more than 1,800 exhibitors under one roof at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shanghai. Seven halls stretch across 180,000 square metres, covering everything from spinning and weaving to digital platforms and textile-reinforced composites. The show draws professionals from across the textile and garment machinery world, and the 2024 edition welcomed more than 90,000 visitors.

The range on show is wide: man-made fibres, knitting, nonwovens, embroidery, braiding, dyeing and finishing, recycling, testing, packaging, automation — five days is a lot to cover and easy to lose track of. Whether you are sourcing one machine or mapping out a full production upgrade, the sheer scale means preparation matters as much as presence.

Practical tip: before you step into the first hall, decide which technology segments matter most to you and walk those first. Leave finishing and garment halls for the days when your energy is lower — they tend to need less back-and-forth technical discussion.

The problem
A visitor at an expo holding a stack of visiting cards and catalogues, looking worried

Seven halls, 180,000 square metres, more than 1,800 exhibitors. By day two, cards are in three pockets, catalogues are in a bag you left at the hotel, machine videos are buried in your gallery, and that price list someone WhatsApped you is lost in a thread from months ago. You remember the stall; you cannot find the supplier. The expo ends and the follow-up never happens.

  • Cards lost in pockets
  • Videos buried in gallery
  • Catalogues left behind
  • No time to follow up
With Potlee
The same visitor in the evening, smiling, with every card and catalogue saved in Potlee

At each stall you snap the card, forward the catalogue PDF, send the machine video — all to Potlee on WhatsApp. She keeps everything. Back at the hotel you search "rapier loom" and it all comes up. When you land home, download your contacts as Excel or open them straight in Google Sheets. Nothing is lost. Nobody else can see your saves — not even the Potlee team.

  • Every card, catalogue and note in one place
  • Download all contacts as Excel

Frequently Asked Questions

When does ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 take place?
ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 runs for five days, from Friday 20 November to Tuesday 24 November 2026. Plan to arrive the day before if you want a full first day on the floor. The show covers a large area, so five days sounds like a lot — but it goes quickly once you factor in travel between halls and time spent in technical discussions.
Where is the expo held, and how do I get to the venue?
The expo is held at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (Shanghai), known locally as NECC, in Shanghai, China. NECC is directly connected to Hongqiao Railway Station and Hongqiao International Airport Terminal 2 — both are within walking distance or a short shuttle ride. Shanghai's metro Line 2 also stops nearby. Check the official site at itmaasia.com for any shuttle or transport updates closer to the date.
Who should attend ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026?
The show is aimed at professionals across the textile and garment supply chain. That includes spinning mill owners, fabric manufacturers, garment makers, technical textile producers, finishing and dyeing plant operators, and anyone sourcing machinery, automation or digital solutions for their production. Visitors come as individuals or as buying teams from a single company. Exhibitors — machinery and technology suppliers — are also present across all seven halls.
What is on show at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026?
The show covers the full fibre-to-fabric journey. You will find spinning, man-made fibre production, weaving, knitting, nonwovens, embroidery and braiding. On the finishing and garment side there is printing, dyeing and finishing, and garment machinery. Technology exhibits include recycling systems, testing and packaging equipment, textile-reinforced composites, digital platforms and automation. More than 1,800 exhibitors are spread across 7 halls and 180,000 square metres.
How do I register to visit?
Visitor registration is handled through the official website at itmaasia.com. Check the site for registration categories, any early-bird periods and badge collection details. If you are travelling internationally, register well in advance so you have your confirmation ready for any visa application. The site also carries the latest exhibitor list and floor plan, which are useful for planning your days before you arrive.
How should I plan my five days at the expo?
With seven halls and more than 1,800 exhibitors, walking everything without a plan is hard. Before you go, download the floor plan from itmaasia.com and mark the technology segments most relevant to your work. Tackle your highest-priority halls on day one and two when your energy is highest. Leave broader browsing — finishing, garments, packaging — for later days. Build in time for unplanned conversations; some of the best leads come from stalls you did not expect to visit.
How does Potlee help me at ITMA ASIA + CITME?
At each stall, send Potlee whatever you collect — a photo of the visiting card, a catalogue PDF, a machine video, a voice note with your own comments, a price list, a link. She saves everything on WhatsApp. Later, search by any word — a machine type, a city, a product name — and Potlee finds it instantly. Your saves are private; nobody else can see them. It is free to start; just send REGISTER on WhatsApp.
Can my whole team use Potlee at the expo?
Yes. Each team member registers individually on WhatsApp by sending REGISTER. Everyone saves their own cards, catalogues, videos and notes into their own private Potlee account as they walk the halls. After the expo, each person can download their contacts as Excel or open them in Google Sheets. This keeps individual saves private while making sure no one on the team comes home empty-handed.
How do I get my contacts out of Potlee after the expo?
Once you are back from Shanghai, you can download all the visiting-card contacts you saved as an Excel file, or open them directly in Google Sheets. This makes it straightforward to share with a colleague, import into a CRM, or simply keep as a clean record of everyone you met. Search inside Potlee any time you need to find a specific catalogue, video or note you saved during the show.
