PCDS Review

NEXT ITALIAN TRADE FAIRS

What Comes Next?

Italian trade show MICAM MILANO opens on Sunday 23rd through to Tuesday 25th, 3 days of business, with the focus on innovation in production techniques and stores, style originality and trends with greater attention being given to sustainability.

“With its extensive exhibition offering and an important program of events, MICAM is the best response to a challenging period for the footwear industry,” emphasizes Giovanna Ceolini, President of MICAM and Assocalzaturifici. “2024 ended with a decline in exports (-8.4% in value) and turnover (-9.4%), along with a drop in production. However, forecasts indicate a gradual market improvement by the end of the year, with recovery prospects driven by the industry's capacity for innovation and resilience. In this context, MICAM reaffirms its status as an un-miscible international event, a key reference point for brands, buyers, and professionals from around the world. The confidence of exhibiting companies in the trade show is evident in their participation, demonstrating how MICAM serves as a strategic platform for developing new business opportunities and tackling market challenges with momentum.”

With 853 brands—415 Italian and 438 international from 28 countries MICAM show cases the latest innovations from the world’s top international companies along with a wide representation of all the Italian manufacturing districts that make ‘Made in Italy’ renowned worldwide.

The world of footwear is complex; it never ceases to attract new professionals, seek out a visionary approach to the supply chain, inventing new looks through creativity along with a deep respect for tradition a history of excellence that characterizes the Italian footwear sector and its many forms of expression.

MICAM MILANO presents a melting pot for view and ideas to be expressed by leading professionals for visitors to be inspired by gaining insider knowledge, taking a peek at the future of retail and more importantly an insight into the latest footwear fashion trends.

Whilst the geopolitical scene may appear chaotic the footwear industry always brings humanity back down to earth. It’s the industry that for centuries has enabled humankind to go about life in general, protecting feet, creating style, Italian Style, it always will!

At the same time as MICAM the Italian Accessories show MIPEL takes place featuring selected brands, famous labels, emerging enterprises and trendsetting designers. MIPEL provides a unique and detailed view of collections, seasonal trends and services available.

See you in MILAN!
