　This year, the sixth year of the event, the "Real Textile Production Area Tour" will actually visit companies in the production areas, and the "Online Textile Production Area Tour" will change its form, changing from a traditional program introducing companies to a program introducing the high level of technology and job satisfaction of the entire production area, thereby conveying the appeal of the production areas from multiple aspects more than ever before. In addition, a "Student Pitch Contest" will be held, in which ideas and business plans for the textile industry will be solicited, and the contestants will compete in a presentation format.

　Through the "Senpaku" event, visitors will be able to experience the high level of consistent manufacturing technology and the appeal of working in a textile production area. A wide variety of companies in Okayama's textile industry, including student uniforms, uniforms, jeans, denim, woven fabrics, and dyeing and processing, are waiting for those who are interested in working in the textile industry!
