The Middle East’s economic dynamism together with the fast growing retailing network these last five years has lead to great business opportunities for the fashion market. Moreover, this region is less affected by the crisis than Europe and North America.

That’s why other organisations have already launched fashion trade shows in this area. It’s the case of Footwear Expo, which will be held for the second time in Dubai from 2 - 4 November, 2009.
