Outdoor by ISPO to cater to all aspects of this sector
21/05/2019
This new trade show came about after the European Outdoor Group (EOG) selected Messe München as the new organiser of the exhibition, which had long taken place in Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance.
It will be held across nine halls of the Messe München site. The organisers have said the motto for this inaugural edition is: “There’s a perfect outdoor for everyone”. It aims to reflect the modern interpretation of the outdoors, with classic outdoor activities such as climbing and hiking joined by more innovative activities like bouldering. Other segments like mountain biking, trail running and water sports will also feature.
Sustainability and social responsibility will also be key focuses of the exhibition. This will include ideas and approaches for reducing water and electricity consumption, minimising waste and reusing resources.
Building on the success of the long-established ISPO awards programme, Outdoor by ISPO will reward innovative products with an “Outstanding Outdoor” award. The winners will feature at a special exhibition space in Hall B5 of the site.
