Enabling brands and retailers to discover and benefit from the most dynamic market opportunities, ISPO highlights everything from a first look at product developments to discovering innovative ideas for merchandising.
More than a trade show, ISPO has become internationally acknowledged as the ultimate sports spotlight on brand and business innovation. And the most productive meeting point for people who keep the global sports industry dynamic. As a result, ISPO CONNECT has been introduced to unleash the vast potential of this powerful network.
