ISPO moves to weekend for 2015 show

15/01/2014
Germany-based sportswear fair ISPO has changed its dates for 2015 due to the densely booked calendar at the Munich exhibition centre and 'organisational issues'.

It will now take place from Thursday, February 5 to Sunday, February 8, 2015. 

Tobias Gröber, head of consumer goods exhibitions at organiser Messe München, said: “Our primary focus is on our customers’ requirements. Upon consideration of all aspects, including date, duration and weekday sequence, we decided on the best possible compromise. By providing our customers with advance information we hope to offer them the opportunity to prepare accordingly.” 

The effects of the changed weekday sequence will come under evaluation after the show, and will be further analysed in cooperation with the sports industry, he added.
