Beginning in 2001 Global Leather moves to Las Vegas where it will present its two day show from August 4-5 at Caesar’s Palace. ‘Moving Global Leather to Las Vegas enables us to provide the convenience both our exhibitors and visitors have been asking for’, says Fawn Evenson, president, FIA. ‘Having a supplier show at the same time and the same place as the footwear industry’s largest shoe show in the US makes a lot of sense. All of our visitors are already there.’

The Global Leather show dates coincide with the last two days of World Shoe Association’s presentation of The Shoe Show, August 2-5, 2001, in the Sands Convention Center.
