ORTHOPÄDIE SCHUH TECHNIK 2023: THE meeting place for pedorthists worldwide
On October 20 and 21, 2021, Cologne, Germany, will once again be the place where the worldwide community of Pedorthists will meet. The congress with numerous lectures and seminars as well as the trade fair with more than 130 exhibitors will once again offer the ideal opportunity to meet colleagues and learn about the latest professional and technological developments.
After the Corona-related postponement from 2021 to 2022, the ORTHOPÄDIE SCHUH TECHNIK trade fair will be held again this year in the regular cycle - odd-numbered years. Despite the tight trade fair rhythm, the number of registrations at this stage is good, including numerous exhibitors who are presenting themselves for the first time this year. They come mainly from the field of new technologies, such as 3D printing. Even at the 2022 show, the increased number of technology providers could not be overlooked. Anyone interested in the possibilities of new technologies in the field of analysis or computer-aided manufacturing of assistive devices will therefore get a comprehensive overview of the current range at the trade fair in Cologne.
In addition, the product range of the classic suppliers will by no means be neglected. Manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers in the sector will also be using the platform this year to present their range of products and services in the field of assistive devices. Visitors to the trade fair can find out about all the developments in the field of technology, materials, aids, software and services.
ORTHOPÄDIE SCHUH TECHNIK is the only trade fair in the world whose range of products is specifically tailored to the pedorthic industry. With Springer Aktiv AG and PLT (gold sponsors) as well as Darco and the Opta data Group (silver sponsors), renowned companies are once again supporting the event (More information about the sponsors can be found at the end of the article).
The two-day congress with 30 specialist lectures and almost as many seminars offers a complete overview of foot treatment and provides decisive impulses for the further development of the trade and the link to adjacent fields of work.
