The September Shoe Shows are over for another year
The Spring/Summer Shoe Shows are now over for another year! I hope those of you who ventured out to attend the recent shoe trade shows, both in the UK and further afield, had an enjoyable and productive experience? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Shows this season, so do drop me a line, my contact details are below? Many thanks to all those Independent Footwear Retailers who visited our Footwear Today Stockrooms Show in September at The National Conference Centre in Birmingham. I hope you enjoyed our Show, including the free lunch! Hopefully, those of you that stayed on for The Footwear Industry Awards Event had a great evening!! I know I certainly did!
I’m delighted to report that our Footwear Today Shoe Show Live (previously, Footwear Today Stockrooms Show) is returning to The National Conference Centre in Birmingham in February. The name of our Show has changed, but the free on-site car parking, lunch and bus transfers to and from NEC Railway Station for independent footwear retailers will remain!.
The event will be running from 10 am till 5pm on Sunday 5th February and 10am to 5pm on Monday 6th September. More than and 55 leading footwear brands have already signed up to attend the February event, so it promises to be a great Show! I look forward to meeting up with you there!
