Exhibitors invest in extra space

17/12/2008

Less than six weeks from the Winter Market Show (Salt Lake City, January 22-25), the organisers of Outdoor Retailer have reported that close to 330,000 square-feet of exhibit space is currently sold, putting the trade show on par with last year's. The show is also hosting more than 175 new exhibitors.

"Despite uncertain times for several retail categories,
recent industry research shows the outdoor market remains healthy," said Kenji Haroutunian, show director. "This trend is holding true for the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market as nearly 800 exhibitors have purchased an average of 5% more floor space than in years past. At this point, we are on target to meet last year's exhibitor and attendee numbers."
