The count-down is starting; just a few days separate us from the opening of the Exhibition Space, let’s reveal all the news which will be the highlights of this event, not to be missed by expositors and visitors.

 
SIMAC TANNING TECH, the international exhibition of machines and technologies for footwear, leathergoods and tanning industry, is ready to raise the curtain on technology and innovation for the industry of Fashion. It will take place in Rho Fiera from 22nd to 24th September 2021.
 
Confirmed is the attendance of 200 exhibitors, distributed on a 9.000 sqm area.
 
The organisational secretariat developed a series of proposals in order to maximise the experience of exhibitors and buyers, turning Simac Tanning Tech into a “technological square” for all the main characters of the sector: Companies, Training Institutes, Technological Centres, Research and Innovation laboratories from all over the world.
 

The organisational machine can count on the collaboration of a network of international journalists, starting from the Co-Branding initiative between Simac Tanning Tech and Edizioni AF.
 
Simac Tanning Tech becomes a community, where the discussion about innovation, technology and trends is always open, and not only limited to the physical appointment at the Fair.
 
A space will be dedicated to “ASSOMAC TALKS”: an international networking moment, promoted by Assomac Association, where technology centres of the sector will present their precious contribution to the manufacturing process’ innovation and technological transfer.
The first edition of “ASSOMAC TALKS” is made of three “Digital Round Tables” where the technology centres will be invited to share their experience on themes such as “Fashion & Technology” and “Sustainability & Measuring”. A spotlight will be placed on the ecosystem of “Service Technology Centres”, implemented by Assomac and ITA Agency, during the round table “ITA Service Technology Centres Ecosystem”.

Digital will support physical thanks to the new APP “Simac Tanning Tech 2021” – available for iOS and Android systems.
In order to carefully attain to rules of the COVID-19 protocol: physical tickets will not be available, the pre-registration or the App will then be fundamental in order to access the fair, so that every registration can be entirely paperless; a Chat will be available, similar to the traditional messaging platforms, so that communication with all the attendants to the fair will be direct; exchanging business cards will be easy, quick and contactless, simply bringing two smartphones close to each other; the access to all the information about the exhibitors, products and the calendar of the fair is easy and straight forward.
