Luxury Roundtable June 10th 2025

 

The Global Footwear Future Coalition (GFFC) was created in recognition of a shared need: a unified, collaborative, pre-competitive space for the footwear industry to rethink its future.

As an academically led, not-for-profit organisation, GFFC believes that bridging the progress gap between multi-stakeholder interests requires more than dialogue; it demands structure, intention and a commitment to shared outcomes.

The roundtables build on the foundations of our highly successful launch symposium, which brought together some of the world’s most influential footwear brands, manufacturers, retailers and innovators.

In this spirit, we are convening a series of roundtables to identify opportunities for change. The series brings together thought leaders from across the global footwear industry to share personal perspectives on the sector’s most pressing challenges. The roundtable outputs will inform GFFC’s 5-year strategic plan for collective progress.
