INSPIRAMAIS, a leading trade show for materials for the footwear, apparel, furniture, jewelry, and automotive industries, has opened registrations for its pocket version in Juazeiro do Norte/CE. The event will feature an exhibition of some of the over one thousand materials launched at the main edition, a company showroom, and a lecture on the “Human 2026_II” research that inspired the products. The event will take place on September 9th at the local Sebrae headquarters – Av. Padre Cícero, 2241 – loja 40.

Silvana Dilly, superintendent of the Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear, and Artifacts (Assintecal), highlights that the event will bring all the main innovations presented by the trade show to the footwear hub. Last year, the hub produced 18.6 million pairs of shoes, a large portion of which were for export. “It is a mandatory event for the industry to stay in tune with the sector’s main trends,” she says.

The “Human 2026_II” lecture, to be given by Assintecal’s Design and Research Center consultant Júlia Webber, features “Hope” as its key word, with materials influenced by dance, playfulness, maximalism, nostalgia, youth culture, elasticity, and fluidity. The color palette highlights pea green, various shades of blue, and salmon.

INSPIRAMAIS is promoted by Assintecal in partnership with the Center for the Brazilian Tanning Industry (CICB), the Brazilian Association of the Textile and Apparel Industry (Abit), the Brazilian Association of the Furniture Industry (Abimóvel), and the Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Businesses (Sebrae).
