The heart of FXPO — where all exhibition booths are located. This is the main venue for showcasing cutting-edge innovations, materials, solutions, and design breakthroughs from around the world.

This room will serve as the venue for XPitch — a private session where selected footwear startups present to leading investors, brand executives as jurors, and strategic partners.

This auditorium will host Xtalks — a curated series of innovation talks where leaders and changemakers across the footwear industry share ideas, stories, and future-shaping perspectives.

Hosted at the panoramic rooftop of the FLC Grand Hotel with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Ha Long Bay, 1 on 1 offers a premium networking experience with eight pre-scheduled, 15-minute in-person meetings — connecting you directly with brand and retail leaders interested in your solution.

An intimate and dynamic space for the XLaunch — where new products, technologies, and design concepts make their debut in public. All presentations receive post-event editorial coverage and exposure through FXPO’s official channels.

FX 10 in 10 presents a series of focused talks where brands and industry experts share 10-minute presentations on core themes such as Sustainability, Smart Manufacturing & Sourcing, Digitization, Go-To-Market Strategy, Product Innovation, and Design Innovation.

Each session is designed for clarity and impact, typically delivered in 10 slides over 10 minutes — a format that keeps content sharp, actionable, and relevant to today’s footwear leaders.

Info: Please note that the main exhibition will take place continuously in the foyer of the convention center throughout the day. Simultaneous sessions such as XTALK, XPitch, 1 on 1 networking, XLaunch, and 10 in 10 presentations will be held in designated rooms according to the agenda.
