SATRA announces next webinar dates

Registrations are being taken for SATRA’s live online presentations on issues relating to the production of footwear.

SATRA’s programme of regular webinars presented on a variety of key industry topics is proving very popular with members around the world. Hundreds of online attendees have taken advantage of this provision, all of whom have the opportunity to pose questions before the event, during the presentation or afterwards. Answers can then be provided either as a live response at the conclusion of the session (when it is presented live) or as personalised emailed advice, which is a particularly valuable service whenever confidential information about the member’s products needs to be discussed.

The following SATRA webinars, which are reserved only for SATRA members, will be presented at 10:00 GMT and repeated at 16:00 GMT to accommodate delegates who are located in North or South America.

Thursday 27th February 2025 – ‘Leather grading relaunch’. SATRA has been training and accrediting personnel and companies in the use of its five-point leather grading system for leather for many years. In 2025, the service will offer additional benefits to personnel and companies who use it.

Thursday 6th March 2025 – ‘Production efficiency’. This webinar will consider how using different SATRA production efficiency systems can help you to assess and improve your manufacturing processes, material usage and labour costs.

Thursday 3rd April 2025 – ‘Demands placed on outdoor footwear’. The various types and applications for outdoor footwear have varied requirements. Although these can be confusing and sometimes seem to conflict, they actually work in balance to contribute to the whole system. In this webinar, delegates will review the main requirements and the preferred methods for testing such characteristics.

Thursday 17th April 2025 – ‘Visible technology in sports footwear’. In a highly competitive sports footwear market, brands are adopting a powerful strategy: to ensure that any trademarked technology and USP is visible to the customer. In this webinar, we will discuss how visible performance technology not only delivers on function but also allows a brand to differentiate its product and to captivate its audience.

Online library of video presentations

In addition to the regular live events, SATRA has built an online library of recordings of the webinars as well as supplementary video presentations on many key footwear-related issues, access to which is reserved for member companies. This online provision ensures that all members who were unable to watch the live online events can still benefit from the experience of SATRA’s experts and other industry figures by logging onto the dedicated website section at www.satra.com/resources whenever they choose.

SATRA members can also access a comprehensive library of SATRA Bulletin technical articles and other industry-related information at this location.
