Those looking for advanced materials will also have plenty to see from leading Italian tanneries such as Conceria Virginia S.p.A. that are focusing on eco friendly leathers, washable leathers and waterproof materials and Conceria Mastrotto / Gruppo Mastrotto S.p.A.
While Fratelli Morelli Creazioni Tessili S.p.A. and Toray America Ultra Suede will be displaying their latest textiles.
The show floor will go far beyond exhibitor space by offering visitors a dedicated trend area along with a comprehensive educational seminar programme, crafted specially for footwear and accessories, design, development and sourcing professionals.
This program will include workshops such as 'Innovations in Footwear Materials', 'Demystifying what Green Really Means', 'New Materials & Designs – Inspiration from Outside the Footwear Industry', plus 'Understanding Chinese Culture & How it Helps you Successfully do Business in China'.
Added to all of this is the unique positioning of the show, which runs just ahead of The WSA Show and The Collections at WSA and overlaps by one day, creating the largest and most comprehensive footwear marketplace in the world.
“The Materials Expo offers visitors a new experience in the world of footwear materials sourcing. We have taken great care to select the best exhibitors possible to make this show a must for all designer, development and sourcing professionals,” comments Show Director, Courtney Harold.
“We have literally traveled the globe to bring together the elite in footwear materials suppliers and will host industry leaders beside the undiscovered, with the latest technologies alongside the traditional. Above all, the show will offer innovation and inspiration, as well education.”
