Why Milan?

ILM will announce more speakers and topics representing the whole automotive leather supply chain leading with OEMs in the coming weeks. ILM has chosen Milan as it is at the centre of the European leather and automotive industries and it is a city which is easy to get to. The conference is being held the day after the 100th edition of the Lineapelle show as well as Simac Tanning Tech (September 20-22, 2022).
