OutDoor by ISPO 2020 is cancelled
27/03/2020
Organisers said the decision follows advice from the government and health authorities, and was made in agreement with the European Outdoor Group (EOG) trade association in order to protect the health of exhibitors and visitors.
“Under these circumstances it is not reasonable to go ahead with OutDoor by ISPO as scheduled—for health and economic reasons,” said Klaus Dittrich, chairman and CEO of Messe München, who is responsible for OutDoor by ISPO.
Mark Held, president of EOG, said the outdoor industry is facing unprecedented stress and that the cancellation will “free up much needed company resources that can be used to support employees, retailers and other stakeholders along the supply chain. The more we can do now to protect everyone involved, the better equipped we will be once this crisis is over”.
Messe München said a decision about the continuation of ISPO Digitize Summit, ISPO Textrends and Outstanding Outdoor formats will be taken at a later date.
