The International Union of Shoe Industry Technicians (UITIC) has announced that its 22nd Congress will take place in Shanghai, China, from August 31 to September 3, 2025. The event will focus on the theme of “Footwear Industry Competitiveness and Sustainability in the Era of Artificial Intelligence.” By Footwearbiz.
The first two days of the congress will involve visits to local shoe factories, research centres, and educational institutions. A formal banquet, hosted by the China Leather Industry Association (CLIA), will be held on the evening of August 31. The following two days will feature indoor conferences with presentations and panel discussions on technologies for the footwear industry. Attendees will have opportunities to explore advancements in AI and sustainability.
A gala dinner will take place aboard a boat cruising the Huangpu River, and participants will also visit two trade fairs, ACLE and Moda China, on the third day of the event.
More information, including registration details, will be available soon on the UITIC website.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
