24th / 25th September 2025, Fiera Milano
Join us in Milan this September for two special events that bring the Leather Working Group stakeholder community together.
On the evening of 24 September, we’ll host a celebratory dinner to mark 20 years of LWG—an opportunity to connect, hear from guest speakers, and reflect on our shared progress.
Then, on 25 September, join us for our Stakeholder Meeting—a key forum for collaboration, transparency, and shaping the future of responsible leather production.
Registration and booking are now open in the user area of the website.
