MICAM Milano is the world's leading international footwear trade fair, covering men's, women's and children's shoes along with components and accessories, and is often co-located with the MIPEL leather-goods show. Held twice a year in February and September at Fiera Milano in Rho, the 2026 editions run 22-24 February and 13-15 September. It is a trade-only event drawing footwear brands, buyers, retailers, distributors, designers and press, with more than 1,000 footwear brands exhibiting. For a hotel-booking traveller, Fiera Milano Rho's excellent transit links are the key advantage: the M1 metro red line runs directly to the Rho Fieramilano terminus, and the venue has its own mainline Rho Fiera Milano station for regional and high-speed trains. Malpensa Airport lies about 30-40 km away. Staying near an M1 station gives a one-seat ride to the halls, with districts like Cadorna and Duomo convenient for the city and the Rho-Pero area cheapest right by the fair, though Milan's overlapping fashion and design events make early booking important.

Pay Weekly: common questions
Do I pay any interest?
No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
