IULTCS World Congress: see you in León in 2027

It’s still more than a year away, but people are already starting to talk about the 39th IULTCS Congress, scheduled to take place in León, Mexico, from October 25 to 28, 2027. The flagship event of the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IULTCS), which is held every two years in a different country, promises to be more significant than ever. First and foremost, this is due to the host city’s significance and appeal to the leather sector: León is the heart of one of the world’s leading leather-producing regions and will offer delegates the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the Mexican leather industry.
This time, the host will be the León Association of Leather Chemists and Technologists (AQTCL), which will work in collaboration with the Guanajuato State Chamber of the Tanning Industry (CICUR). Their shared goal is to bring together scientists, technicians, researchers, manufacturers, brands, chemical suppliers, machinery experts, and sustainability leaders from around the world.
In line with the IULTCS’s statutory objectives, the conference will serve as a global platform for sharing the latest advances in science, technology, and innovation in the leather sector, while encouraging collaboration across the entire leather supply chain.
Participants will have the opportunity to connect with international experts, decision-makers, universities, brands, tanners, and suppliers, exchanging ideas and innovations that can help shape the next generation of leather production.
