Outdoor Retailer to hold online event in July (US)
Tradeshow and business event Outdoor Retailer has announced a new Outdoor Retailer Online platform, a virtual three-day outdoor business, networking and educational event.
Live programming will run from July 21-23, 2020, and tools will then be available to registered exhibitors and attendees throughout the summer.
The event will include exhibitors hosting live and on-demand product and line showings and one-on-one appointments; chat sessions in brand-controlled spaces, scheduled live education and conversations around current industry topics; matchmaking and search tools to facilitate the discovery of new brands and products, retailers and buyers; and networking opportunities and discussion forums. Winners of the 10th annual Outdoor Retailer Inspiration Awards will be announced in a live online ceremony on Wednesday, July 22.
“While the value of coming together in person is irreplaceable, we used guidance from industry feedback – through conversations and surveys – to develop a custom online space to help outdoor businesses with both immediate and future needs,” said Marisa Nicholson, senior vice president and show director.
