Shoe Trade & Logistics Strategy Summit
September 17, 2025 • Castaway Portland – 1900 NW 18th Ave, Portland, OR
With significant new tariff increases now in effect, it is more important than ever to identify and mitigate new risks and costs across the supply chain. That is our focus for building this critical summit.
Footwear leaders and supply chain experts will tackle critical challenges, including:
- The impact of higher tariffs on sourcing costs, supply routes, and pricing strategies
- A deep dive into current trade deals, pending negotiations, and how they affect footwear supply chains
- Freight and port issues and opportunities
- A look at rising warehouse, labor, and trucking costs – where companies are seeing pressure and how they’re responding
- Cost-cutting measures — actionable ideas on how footwear companies are offsetting higher duties and freight rates
If you’re involved in trade, customs or logistics, this is your can’t-miss annual briefing.
Speakers and full agenda will be announced soon.
