14 H+H THE FALL EDITION This September in Houston, h+h is bringing the industry together for a highimpact, relationshipdriven B2B event designed to spark new partnerships, deepen existing ones, and set your business up for a strong Q4 and beyond. With more than 130 exhibitors already on board, this is where the industry comes together — from yarn, fabric, and thread to notions, tools, sewing machines, embroidery supplies, quilting materials, patterns, kits, and accessories. Whether you’re a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, designer, educator, or emerging brand, the Fall Edition is built to help you grow your visibility, your network, and your sales. Applications are still open for exhibitors, booth spaces, and the Designer Indie Untangled, Needle Arts Alley, Sewing + Quilting Pavilion — but space is limited. This show is crafted for high quality conversations and efficient buying cycles—the kind that move your business forward. Here’s what exhibitors tell us they value most: • A second annual touchpoint aligned with fall buying cycles • A curated, streamlined format that prioritizes meaningful B2B engagement • Retailers ready to buy, plan, and discover new products for Q4 • A growing exhibitor list that builds momentum and FOMO • A legacy location—Houston has long been home to one of the craft industry’s most important fall gatherings Your next collaboration might be one conversation away.

The collaboration reinforces the event’s commitment to responsible sourcing while supporting the long-term development and transformation of the paper and stationery industry across the Middle East. Recognised leader in sustainable forestry, FSC promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management through its globally recognised certification system. The new partnership with Paperworld Middle East will bring this expertise to the region’s leading international trade platform for paper and stationery products, creating new opportunities for knowledge exchange, collaboration and responsible procurement. The collaboration reflects growing demand from businesses and public-sector organisations for internationally recognised sustainability standards as they seek to strengthen procurement frameworks, improve supply chain transparency and meet evolving environmental objectives. Beyond visibility, FSC’s approach supports a broader shift in business practices by enabling organisations to integrate responsible sourcing into their operational culture and decision-making processes. Paperworld Middle East will bring together the most influential manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers, providing a dedicated marketplace for sourcing, innovation, and business partnerships. The exhibition serves as a strategic trade platform, as demand continues to grow, with the global paper and stationery markets projected to reach US$294 billion and US$268 billion, respectively, by 2034, according to Fortune Business Insights.
