More than 2,500 exhibitors from over 50 countries will exhibit at ISPO Munich 2015 that takes place from 5-8 from February with the international leading trade show experiencing a considerable increase in exhibitors particularly in the Outdoor and Health & Fitness segment, according to organisers. In 2015 ISPO Munich will once again extend across the entire 180,000 square meters of exhibit space.

The Outdoor segment at ISPO Munich is growing with more than 40 new exhibitors and almost 100 new Outdoor brands. Among others, the area will host some first-time exhibitors, including Alfa, Klean Kanteen, Lyle and Scott, and Millican, as well as CamelBak. Another new feature is the ISPO Outdoor Lounge for networking and relaxation.

Health & Fitness

Another highlight at ISPO Munich 2015 is the Health & Fitness Hall, which celebrated its successful premiere in 2014. The spotlight is on the combination of sports and health.

New exhibitors in this segment include Everlast, FITBIT, Hyperice, HEAD Fitness, Jawbone, Playground, PulseOn, Salus, Sixtus and ZIVA Fitness. The segment features informative live presentations of Healthstyle products.

The ISPO Health & Fitness Forum also offers a multi-faceted side event programme with renowned presenters on topics such as Healthy Workplace and Mobile Health & Fitness.

Sportstyle sector and ISPO Textrends Forum

The Sportstyle sector will again focus more prominently on winter sports in 2015. International market leaders and up-and-coming newcomers present technical sportswear for cold weather days.

The special exhibit Wool Street in the north section bundles suppliers and manufacturers and presents the entire bandwidths and unique characteristics of technical wool products.

The ISPO Textrends Forum offers manufacturers, designers and product managers a platform for sourcing and networking. This is where visitors will discover the latest fabrics, insulation materials, components and accessories for sports and outdoor apparel. Every day, there will also be four lectures on the current issues affecting the textile industry.

Action sports

ISPO Cold Water Surfing is the first European special exhibit revolving around hi-tech surf equipment. Brands like Billabong, Finisterre, Fomento Donostia, GlassyPro, Holysports, Patagonia, Rareform, Rip Curl, Seawag, Surflogic, Ocean, O’Neill and Xcel will be on site.

Action sports and creativity have always been closely related. The project #onehundred supported by Sneakerfreaker shows the historic developments of sneakers from the beginning to the latest trends in the athletic shoe business. An increasing number of brands cooperate with designers, artists and VIPs to create an exceptional and authentic brand presentation.
