2018 MODA and AWARDS DINNER
The Society of Shoe Fitters and The Footwear & Foot Health Register will be pleased to see you at MODA and at the accompanying Footwear Awards Dinner. MODA is a rare chance to see head office staff from major manufacturers under one roof. It is also a great way of saving money when buying, as you can compare ranges and therefore make fewer mistakes. It also saves you the inconvenience of making numerous diary dates for agents and representatives to call (and maybe the embarrassment of not placing an order when they do!). It is a big investment for the brands to meet retailers, so it needs retailers
to make the small effort to spend a day or two to look round, squeeze the flesh and see what is on offer.

Kettering Conference Centre in Northamptonshire and will take place on Weds. June 20th 2018. There will be an exhibition of suppliers and organisations (only a few stands still available) and choice of morning or afternoon conference session with Q&A session.

There is also a presentation by wealth management company Alex Ziff Financial Planning, for those considering their financial future.
