OutDoor by ISPO promises expanded events schedule following inaugural show
Organisers of the first OutDoor by ISPO trade show, which took place in Munich from June 30 to July 3, have declared the first show a success, citing new exhibitors and “tremendous enthusiasm”. 

The show welcomed more than 22,000 visitors from 90 countries, with 1,018 exhibitors taking part.

Around 950 exhibitors attended the last OutDoor Friedrichshafen, in June 2018.

However, news from the show floor was that some regular exhibitors did not attend this time.

A wide range of affiliated activities also took place in Munich and the surrounding area. Thirty -three events included open-air film evenings, meet and greets, and a bivouac camp on the Hintertux Glacier at 3,000 metres. Organisers says this programme will be extended next year.

Klaus Dittrich, CEO of Messe München, said: “The industry’s tremendous enthusiasm demonstrates the success of our new concept. We were able to keep and even exceed our promises from the run-up.”

The next Outdoor by ISPO trade fair will be held from June 28 to July 1, 2020, in Munich.
