New Horizons, New Opportunities: Introducing OutDoor 2025

On Wednesday evening, the much-anticipated new concept for OutDoor 2025 was introduced to industry visionaries, leaders, and innovators. The next OutDoor takes place in Munich from 19 to 21 May, 2025. The new approach offers creative participation opportunities, expanded business potential, and a strong commitment, including a 20% discount on booth space from October 01 to December 31, 2024.

OutDoor is more than just an event. It’s the leading global platform for the outdoor industry and community, where retailers, professionals, brands and innovators come together to not only network and explore the latest trends but also to collaborate for greater business success. This is the place where shared innovation and collective action lead to enhanced opportunities for everyone involved.

Our goal to give participants a more immersive and well-rounded experience to the show - our activities and partnerships offer an even more robust trade show in addition to conferences and networking initiatives that showcase the latest innovations for the upcoming season.
