Next year, the 24th OutDoor at Lake Constance moves forward to June 18-21 and will run from Sunday to Wednesday.
The move will allow the show to reflect what is happening in the industry at the best possible time.
The overall response at OutDoor 2016 confirmed that this is the right move and that order deadlines will not get pushed forward.
Hans-Hermann Deters, Sport 2000 Managing Director, said: “The new OutDoor dates and earlier timing also suits our approach to downstream retailers with the ‘Outdoorprofi’ and ‘Laufprofi’ order fairs.
“All parties will benefit from the common marketplace and high level of new innovation.
“Attending will make it easier to subsequently make the right purchase decisions.”
