ISPO Visitor Spotlight: Claudia Klingelhöfer shares plans & highlights

Claudia: It’s a people business. I can’t wait to reconnect with this huge network of like-minded folks from the sports and outdoor ecosystem.

Is that even a question? ;-)

It’s still the most efficient way to meet a good part of my network, exchange ideas and project updates, and not to forget the magic of serendipitous encounters.

I’m here on behalf of SGI Europe and the Outdoor Industry Compass, two must-reads for anyone serious about the sports and outdoor business in Europe.

I’m on the lookout for brands we can collaborate with. We’ve developed a new, survey-based product that uses AI to deliver real consumer insights, and I’m here to pitch it to forward-thinking brands and retailers.

I’m hoping to discover next-level innovation – design-led, circular-first outdoor fashion. And of course, I’ll be drawing lots of inspiration from the Women’s Summit.

Probably the one I’m most excited about is my moderator slot at the Retail Stage, where I’ll be joined by Adam Sandzer from Hot Pot China. We’ll be exploring consumer trends and shopping habits in the Chinese market.

Definitely the latter. I love the energy of those unplanned conversations, especially when both sides are equally excited that we bumped into each other.

Schedule meetings with the ISPO App

Besides the Women’s Summit, it’s the Sustainability Solutions Area. Especially now, continuing to push forward on real sustainable action and work is more important than ever.

Plan just 50% of your time. Leave space for panels, spontaneous chats, and a little serendipity, that’s where the real value of ISPO happens.
