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.

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

Thursday 19^th February 2026 – ‘Multi-climate testing’. Moisture management and thermal properties are important for comfort. Controlled laboratory tests can be performed to help assess these factors. In this webinar, we will introduce these important assessments and discuss how to push them further to account for the specific climate in which the footwear is designed to work.

Thursday 5^th March 2026 – ‘New Eurotile’. Slips, trips and falls remain the leading cause of workplace accidents across both the UK and Europe. This webinar will explore how slip resistance testing is standardised through the use of a controlled slip surface. The session will also introduce the latest version of this surface.

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.
