GFFC was launched with an inaugural Symposium on 9th October 2024 in King’s Cross, London’s Knowledge Quarter. 

With 150 invited delegates, the Symposium was designed to be a call for action, bringing together designers, brands, retailers, makers, trade bodies, research academia and cultural institutions in a pre-competitive space in order to reset the future of the industry. 

All tickets were by invitation only, and at no charge.

“The recent creation of the Global Footwear Future Coalition needs support so we bring together a fragmented but important industry”

Daniel Rubin, Chair Dune in Drapers online, February 2025

“Well done on the launch of GFFC and can’t wait to see what’s next!”

Michelle Lai, Member of Leadership Council, Earth Public Information Collaborative
