The Portland Forum builds on the success of Delcam CRISPIN’s first Footwear Technology Forum that was held in Milan last October. Paul Robinson, Head of Product Creation Technologies at Reebok, USA, attended the Milan event and said: “I was intrigued by the forum as it was the first time I’d ever seen anything like this. I would recommend it to my colleagues and anybody else I know in the industry.”
