Organised by the International Union of Shoe Industry Technicians (UITIC), the theme of the 18th congress is social corporate responsibility, and it will be held in Guangzhou from November 13 and 16.

Seminars include a discussion about footwear's carbon footprint, led Maria José Ferreira from Portugal, and Sergio Dulio from Italy will speak about green processes in footwear manufacture.

Germany's Tom Schneider will discuss the experience of a German tannery, Sa Tan Tec, in China; Peter Mangione from the US will speak about global footwear supply and demand; and Steve Jesseph will inform audiences about improving profits and productivity.
