Free Ispo places up for grabs
08/11/2013
The scheme has been set up to attract retailers who not attended the show for least three years and 70 will be invited to attend for free, with subsidised accommodation.
The initiative is being led by an advisory group which includes Eddy Codega, CEO of CAMP; Martin Riebel, CEO of Deuter; Nicolas Warchalowski, CEO of Haglöfs; and Christian Jäggi, managing director of Black Diamond Europe.
Mr Jäggi said: “The specialist retailers are the backbone of our industry and while an overwhelming part of the established trade already meets annually in Munich, we know that in such a dynamic sector as ours, talented new store owners and managers put effort into establishing their business.”
Retailers are asked to apply directly, and brands should nominate suitable retailers, by November 30. The show runs from January 26 to 29, 2014.
