From February 1 until 5, 2021, ISPO Munich Online will be the place to be for the sports and outdoor sector.

Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss key social questions for the future from a sporting perspective. ISPO Munich Online will be opened by the long jump world champion Malaika Mihambo.

“For the first time ever, the largest trade fair in the sports business will take place in digital form” said Dr. Jeanette Friedrich, Global Head of ISPO Group. “We’re very keen to reach the entire sports community from retailers and manufacturers to sports enthusiasts.” The event is therefore divided into three parts:


1) Market Overview of innovations and new products in the Expo Area: 

The Expo Area will serve as a virtual exhibition area for more than 500 international exhibitors from all areas of sport. It is primarily aimed at specialist retailers who are looking for a product overview as well as inspiration for planning product ranges. All companies and their products will be presented in digital brand rooms.


2) Conference with interdisciplinary discussion on megatrends

With more than 80 presentations and podium discussions and over 100 workshops on socially relevant topics such as digitalization and creativity, health and sustainability, the conference program is sure to inspire all sector members. The interdisciplinary line-up of speakers will bring together industry representatives and sportspeople along with participants predominantly from industries outside the sector, education and politics.
