AN INDEPENDENT SHOE & BOOTMAKER CONFERENCE

Where handmade and bespoke shoemakers and bootmakers from every discipline imaginable will gather to discuss craft, technique, and leather—and perhaps most importantly, to form long-lasting ongoing connections with each other.

Boot Camp Maker’s Day is a one-day conference on Sunday, November 9, 2025, from 9am - 3pm at The Tannery Row in Chicago. Coffee and a light breakfast will be provided. Only 40 tickets available.
