21st UITIC International Technical Footwear Congress
UITIC, the international association of footwear technicians, celebrated its 21st Congress last September (19th-22nd) in Milan and Vigevano, marking the comeback of this important event after a five-year break (the 20th Congress was held in Porto, Portugal in 2018 and, due to the pandemic that disrupted everything, the 21st was put back). It was a very successful gathering both in terms of content as well as in the number of registered participants in particular if we consider how much travel habits and the willingness to attend events in person have changed in the meantime.
