One of the most renowned awards in the sports industry has selected the first winners. At the beginning of the year, most of the ISPO Award winners are brands that have consistently developed existing products further in the direction of more sustainability, lightness and functionality.

Together with leading sports and outdoor brands, retailers, and industry associations, Messe München has made two groundbreaking decisions: Effective immediately, ISPO Munich will be held permanently at the start of the winter season at the end of November, thus leaving the previous January date. OutDoor by ISPO is moving up permanently from the end of June to the end of May/beginning of June.

The ISPO Award is one of the most sought after in the sports business. Applications from exhibitors and brands for the next ISPO Award are now possible. The well-known seal of quality serves as a guide and basis for purchasing decisions for the media, dealers, and especially consumers in a diverse market. A new concept is to make the ISPO Award even more valuable. The most important change is that the prize will be awarded four times a year in future.

From November 28 to 30, 2022, ISPO Munich, the world's largest multi-segment trade show in the sports business, will once again be held as a presence event at the Messe München exhibition center and will then also be launched directly with new concepts.
