What Are People Saying?
“We had a fantastic season and a great ISPO Munich. Last year, people said skiing was dead – but the exact opposite is actually the case! The early snow has inspired everybody. It is fun being here. ISPO is extremely important, especially for our international customers. We were able to get nearly every good international customer through the trade fair,” –Hans Taubenberger, CEO at Toni Sailer;
“Of course, trade fairs today serve a different purpose than they used to - when you could derive the financial value of a fair directly from the orders. Today it is about seeing and discussing our customers,” - Martin Nordin, CEO Fenix Outdoor International AG;
“ISPO has created a platform to come together and further develop the opportunities of the digital transformation for retailers and brands. We are back as market leaders to openly and transparently demonstrate our engagement with retailers who see this as a clear opportunity,” Roland Auschel, executive board member at Adidas.
