“In the wake of the current developments in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, OutDoor by ISPO 2021 would not be guaranteed to take place on the planned date in July. Based on the necessary caution and with the required pragmatism, we have therefore decided, together with the European Outdoor Group (EOG), to move the event to fall at an early stage,” says Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. “We are also planning both physical and digital elements in order to be able to react as flexibly as possible to all eventualities.”

Given that the order season has already ended at the chosen time, OutDoor by ISPO 2021 will take place as a Global Summit Edition. The goal is an on-site industry meeting at the Munich exhibition center with digital extension that offers everyone involved enough space for exchange, inspiration and information.
