CALLING ALL CREATORS. ISPO 2025 is opening its own platform for creators for the first time with the Sports Creator Summit.

It's all about global networking, exclusive access to the latest trends, including first look and first try of the most exciting sports innovations as well as entertainment and community building that creates real closeness.

The House of Content will be the creative center of the Summit, inspired by the Houses of Nations at the Olympic Games, creating a place where creators' perspectives, topics and communities are in focus.

Creators can apply for official accreditation and will be admitted via press access as soon as accreditation is activated.

At the center is a fully equipped stage where numerous speakers will share their insights. Sessions with leading voices from all five ISPO focus areas will take place here over three days: Team & Racket Sports, Outdoor Lifestyle, Outdoor Functional, Training & Performance and Health & Wellbeing.
