SATRA announces next webinar date

Registrations are being taken for SATRA’s live online presentation on an issue 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 event, which is reserved for SATRA members only. It 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 16^th April 2026 – ‘How do you classify water resistance in footwear?’ Various types of footwear will be expected to have different levels of water resistance performance, depending upon the aimed market use and testing protocol. This webinar will explore how the style and end use of the footwear will determine which particular test is required to assess the level of water resistance possessed by the product.

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.

Upcoming training courses
