Osprey strongly believes in the trade show concept and will continue to support these events; attending OutDoor by ISPO in 2019 as an exhibitor. Having the space to showcase our collection to both current and prospective customers and journalists is paramount when in an environment filled with passionate industry leaders.

OutDoor by ISPO as a passionate community

We are a brand that communicates to our partners daily, we tell them no matter what the adventure you can enjoy the outdoors 365 days a year. Having a platform that reflects this will strengthen the future success of the industry as OutDoor by ISPO is more than a seasonal trade show, it is a community of passionate individuals willing to share their experiences.
