In the Video: Exhibition boss Klaus Dittrich Sums Up ISPO Munich 2019

"We once again welcomed over 80,000 visitors from 120 countries to ISPO Munich. The atmosphere in the halls was of course inspired by the great winter, even if one or the other had to overcome some challenges during the journey.

For the first time ISPO Munich had the chance to use all 18 halls that we now have at our disposal. It was bigger than ever - 2943 exhibitors. And these 18 halls were also well frequented."

"Of course, there was a whole plethora of innovations to be seen again. Our Brandnew prizes to great products, including the overall main winner: a ski that can be individually adapted to the needs of each customer. In addition, for the first time we brought eSports to ISPO Munich - the area was highly frequented.

And it's always surprising to see where there are innovations taking place. What actually impressed me the most was what is happening in the field of textiles. Suddenly electronics are being used to control clothing to adjust to the movement, so if you stop then it gets warm, if you move then it becomes air-permeable. It’s incredible to see the almost revolutionary changes in the textile sector."
