The "Friday for Good" closes ISPO Munich Online under the sign of change. How can the sports community jointly influence politics and society in order to bequeath a world worth living in to our descendants? How does a resolution become change? These questions are the focus of panels, keynotes and interviews.
ISPO.com presents program highlights of Friday.
Already at the beginning of Friday, Tobias Gröber (Head of Consumer Goods ISPO & Inhorgenta & IAA) and Mark Held (President European Outdoor Group) will give an outlook on OutDoor by ISPO, Europe's largest outdoor trade fair from July 5 to 8, in their Impulse Speech.
How can stakeholders help make activities as responsible as possible? We hear the views of brands as event creators, reflect from an athlete's perspective and learn how NGOs are supporting this effort. We go one step further - why not put active and sustainable action for health on every sustainability agenda?
