Next SATRA footwear webinars announced

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.

Forthcoming SATRA webinars include the following events, which will be presented at 10:00 BST and repeated at 16:00 BST to accommodate delegates who are located in North or South America:

Thursday 19th June 2025 – ‘Footwear consultancy’. Footwear manufacturers are always keen to maximise the efficiency of their manufacturing processes and reduce waste. Delegates to this webinar will investigate the advantages of introducing a production efficiency system and the benefits of SATRASumm and VisionStitch.

Thursday 26th June 2025 – ‘Laboratory auditing’. Join our webinar to learn about the QS1000:2024 laboratory accreditation requirements and how to achieve compliance. This event will consider key areas such as quality systems, competency, test methods, equipment calibration and maintaining traceability of test results. SATRA experts will provide practical guidance on preparing for the SATRA accreditation audit and maintaining ongoing adherence to the standard. The session is ideal for laboratory managers, quality control professionals and everyone involved in the accreditation process.

Thursday 3rd July 2025 – ‘Footwear ground insulation’. The term ‘ground insulation’ refers to the physical isolation of the foot from the underfoot floor surface or the ground. This webinar will describe the principals of testing and discuss examples of design considerations pertaining to this important underfoot property.

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.
