The European Footwear Confederation (CEC) and the Footwear Industrialist Association of Türkiye (TASD) are ready to welcome you all at the 7th edition of the World Footwear Congress, that will be held on the 8th and 9th of November 2023 in Istanbul. Never as today, it is imperative for the worldwide footwear sector to reshape its future. Only a few years have passed since the 2019 Congress edition in Naples, but we are now living in a completely different world. The global challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, uncertainty, high inflation and the geopolitical instability to name a few, have exacerbated the already existent pressure on our sector, under scrutiny of both legislators and consumers.
