"ISPO is the one place where I can truly take the pulse of the European market."

Julien Gauthier: Trends and networking. I’m particularly interested in observing how different markets are evolving and seeing which innovations are gaining traction this year.

Julien: I’ll participate in some dinners and parties. It’s always a good mix of business and fun, and it’s a great way to connect with people in a more informal setting.

Julien: It’s an opportunity to meet people from different countries with whom I usually have fewer chances to talk. I want to observe trends, take the pulse of the market, and get insights that help me stay updated across the European landscape.

Julien: No, I’ve been traveling to ISPO for about 25 years. Each year is slightly different, and it’s fascinating to see how the event and the industry evolve over time.

Julien: There aren’t many opportunities to stay connected to the European market. It’s always interesting to hear what’s happening in different countries and to compare strategies and trends across regions.

Julien: CLS – Ski Company, including the SKISET, SKIMIUM, and NETSKI rental networks. I focus on maintaining strong relationships with partners and exploring potential collaborations within the European ski industry.

Julien: Trends are the main reason to come. I also hope to gather information that helps my company anticipate changes in consumer behavior and market developments.

Julien: Business and networking. I’m looking to learn from other entrepreneurs and companies about their approaches to challenges, as well as to discover potential new collaborations.

Julien: People from different countries. I’ve already scheduled some meetings, but I also leave time open to engage in spontaneous encounters that often turn out to be very valuable.

Julien: By attending meetings, conferences, and events such as dinners and parties. These moments provide excellent opportunities to discuss ideas in depth and strengthen professional relationships.

Julien: As mentioned above. I focus on sessions and networking opportunities that give me insights into trends and allow for meaningful interactions with industry colleagues.

Julien: The chance to connect with people from across different markets. It’s always exciting to exchange ideas and experiences, and these interactions often inspire new initiatives and collaborations.

Julien: Coming to ISPO is an incomparable opportunity to see what’s happening outside your own territory and to exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs. Take the time to speak to as many people as possible and stay open to unexpected conversations – you never know where inspiration will come from.
