The London Shoe Show returns to the Copthorne Tara Hotel


T


he London Shoe Show is a must-attend event for anyone in the footwear business. Retailers, buyers and


merchandisers from across the footwear and fashion industry are invited to attend when the show returns on Sunday 11 and Monday 12 February 2024!


The event will return to the ever-popular Copthorne Tara Hotel Kensington with hundreds of brands coming together in the capital city to network and do business.


Previous editions of the London show have seen extended opening hours in response to the requests of exhibitors and buyers. The relaxed nature of the event, and the long- term relationship with the hotel venue, allows the organisers to flex the needs of everyone involved so no appointments are missed! Datateam Business Media, the publisher of Footwear Today magazine, took over the


management of the London Shoe Show earlier this year, and we are once again inviting all independent and multiple footwear retailers to this remarkable buying event to meet with their favourite brands.


Premium European footwear brands will be showcasing their latest styles – covering ladies’, men’s and children’s shoes. Just some of the brands on show include: Bagatt, Caprice, HASSIA, Joya, Marco Tozzi, Regarde Le Ciel, Tamaris and XTI.


Charlotte Steadman, Event Manager for the London Shoe Show, said she is looking forward to her first edition of the show: “All the plans for February are coming together nicely and I can’t wait to return to the Copthorne Tara Hotel and get the doors open for the first day! “I am certain that both exhibiting brands and the retailers in attendance will find the show useful and beneficial. For many it will be


the first major footwear event in the south for 2024, and I look forward to seeing you all on 11 and 12 February next year!”

Footwear Today Live is back in February! F


ootwear Today Live returns to the National Conference Centre (NCC) in Birmingham on Sunday 4 February and Monday 5 February 2024! Once again we will welcome a whole host of footwear suppliers and retailers for another successful buying event!


The two-day show will see hundreds of brands coming together to network and liaise with footwear retailers from all across the UK. The event will occupy nearly the whole of the NCC, as it has grown since its inception from just one to now two levels across the venue! This is the perfect opportunity for all independent and multiple footwear retailers to meet with their favourite brands, and hopefully make new contacts for new future opportunities. It really is the perfect mix of both brands and retailers under one roof, offering an all-new buying location in a manageable and friendly environment. Plus, for some it will be the first chance to see,


in person, new ranges for the 2024-2025 seasons.


Charlotte Steadman, Event Manager for Footwear Today Live, said: “I am delighted that the show has grown so much since it began. We’ve been very fortunate to have had some really positive feedback from the previous show in September, so we will incorporate all the same popular features again in February. “As before, parking and access will be straightforward for both exhibitors and visitors, with a free shuttle service between our event and the nearest train station. And I’m so pleased to once again offer free refreshments and lunch for everyone, which gives people the perfect chance to relax and catch up. “I hope retailers find the show useful and
