The trade show experience continues to serve a vital role for the footwear industry. Amid the recent ups and downs of the consumer market, in-person buying events offer retailers opportunities for brand discovery, education about best practices and trend forecasts — not to mention the chance to network and socialize with colleagues and friends.
In response, show organizers are constantly working to improve the show buying experience, whether through digital tools, enhanced formats, more convenient dates and new locations.
Below is the current lineup of global trade events planned for 2026. FN will continue to update this list with any developments regarding date or venue changes.
