“In less than three years since the last Congress in Naples, the world has experienced serious problems that it has not experienced since the Second World War. It all started with a pandemic, followed by transport disruptions, material shortages, accelerated climate change, military action, an energy crisis, huge inflation rates, and more,” the CEC management said in a statement. The European organization believes that the motto of the upcoming Congress should be the development of a new policy for the footwear sector in the New World. The choice of Istanbul as the venue for the Congress is also due to the active development of the shoe industry in Turkey in recent years.
During the Congress, companies will have the opportunity to share information, exchange experiences, learn, meet other companies and visit factories. More details about the event will be announced at the press conference of the AYMOD exhibition in Istanbul on September 29, 2022.
