Die Key figures in the outdoor industry are rallying behind the new concept for OutDoor, which has been unveiled by the European Outdoor Group (EOG) and Messe Munich. Following months of development and extensive consultation with stakeholders, full details of plans for the 2025 show went live on www.theoutdoor.show during the recent European Outdoor Summit, and leaders from across the sector have been quick to voice their support for the plans.

A merger of two strong partners – ISPO Munich announces its cooperation with the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF). For the first time ever, CIFF will have a partner stand at ISPO Munich (3-5 December 2024), where brands from the denim, sportswear, streetwear and sneaker sectors will showcase the very best of new Danish design, thus ensuring that the increased fusion of sport and fashion and the ensuing business and growth potential will be made accessible to even more retailers across the industry.

Retailers are calling for more brands, and brands are seeking greater retailer participation at the trade fair. This initiative aims to facilitate proactive exchanges, forge new business contacts, and collaboratively advance the industry. The European Outdoor Group (EOG) and Messe München have established the Retail Advisory Council to directly gather feedback from international retailers on their needs and requirements for the trade fair concept. The council will play a crucial role in shaping OutDoor 2025, ensuring closer retailer involvement in its development. The overarching objective is to enhance industry support, evolve the trade fair concept, and solidify OutDoor’s position as a global platform for business, inspiration, and growth. The new OutDoor concept will be unveiled at the European Outdoor Summit, 18-19 September 2024 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Consumers are looking for holistic approaches and they lack trust in their national healthcare systems. The sports industry should compensate for this and employers are also being called upon to do their part. The over-the-counter sports retail sector has enormous potential.

ISPO Munich, the leading trade fair for the global sports business, will open its doors from December 3 – 5 at the Munich Riem Exhibition Center. This year's theme, "LOVE EVERY CONTACT," perfectly encapsulates the blend of networking and inspiration.
