OR claims success for first Summer Market in Denver

17/08/2018
The organisers of the Outdoor Retailer exhibitions have said the recent edition of the Summer Market (July 23-26) attracted more than 26,000 visitors.

It was the first time that the event had taken place in Denver, Colorado following its move from its long-term home in Salt Lake City. 

The combined Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show, which was created after Emerald Expositions, which organises the Outdoor Retailer exhibitions, purchased the Snow Show from SnowSports Industries America (SIA), had its first edition in Denver in January.

“It was great to be back in Denver for Outdoor Retailer Summer Market,” said Marisa Nicholson, vice president and show director for Outdoor Retailer. “Brands and retailers embraced our first summer in Colorado and utilised the show to make quality connections to support their businesses. The week also offered an opportunity for everyone to collaborate, discover and be inspired.”

Outdoor Retailer will return to Denver in November for the Winter Market.

“Now positioned at the front of the winter buying season, Outdoor Retailer Winter Market will be a strong opportunity to get a jump on product launches and emerging trends,” added Ms Nicholson. “In November, we will celebrate the start of the winter outdoor season and highlight innovation in our industry.”
