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 series of forthcoming SATRA webinars includes 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 3rd July 2025 – ‘Footwear ground insulation’. This term refers to the physical isolation of the foot from the underfoot floor surface or the ground. The webinar will describe the principles of testing, in addition to discussing examples of design considerations pertaining to this important underfoot property.

Thursday 17th July 2025 – ‘Technical compliance scheme’. Delegates will discuss SATRA’s Technical Compliance Scheme, which assists footwear producers to recognise the processes that affect quality. The event will explain how the scheme can help to ensure stable production methods and a safe working environment. As a result, producers are more likely to gain a competitive edge by showcasing their dedication to quality, thus attracting customers looking for the best suppliers.

Thursday 24th July 2025 – ‘Confused about carbon?’ It can be difficult for an organisation to understand, measure and ultimately reduce its environmental impacts. This webinar will introduce the concept of ‘organisational carbon footprints’, ‘product carbon footprints’ and ‘lifecycle assessments’. It will provide an overview on what these are, where the information needed to calculate them is found and the steps an organisation can take to be confident in its results.

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.
