According to the organisers this reflects growing demands from potential exhibitors, noticeably from Central and South America, and in particular Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay, and reservations are said to be much higher than this time last year. Furthermore, all 21 pavilions that participated in 2005 have confirmed their presence at the 2006 event.

The successful ‘Three-in-One’ concept combining ACLE at the same venue as the China International Footwear Fair (CIFF) and Moda Shanghai will continue, however, for 2006 the three events will be held in separate dedicated halls.

This year the event will be held on September 5 – 7.
