Sports trade fair supports women in leadership

ISPO Munich committed to supporting women in the sports business

Share article

Share

The days of “Dear Sports Fans” being used to address only the men in the room are long gone. Women are expressing more and more of an interest in sport. And the influence they have on the sporting goods industry is growing too. As the world’s largest sports trade fair, ISPO Munich supports women in the sports business by putting on exciting events dedicated to networking and professional development.

ISPO Women Sports Business

The big players within the sports industry – including the likes of Adidas, Nike, Puma, and Under Armour – identified women as a target group with growing potential some time ago now. And countless studies confirm that more and more women are showing an interest in sport. Lots of manufacturers and brands from the winter sports, outdoor, and teamsports, are now following in the footsteps of the industry giants and developing products and services aimed specifically at their female customer base.

And if you’re just picturing a shelf of pink sneakers right now, you either haven’t quite understood the point or there’s a chance you’re horribly underestimating the huge potential we are referring to here. Believe us – we are well past the days when the same product would simply be issued in two different colors for men and women. Gender-specific products that take into account all of the anatomical, ergonomic, and social requirements – and marketing campaigns that do this level of attention justice – are the name of the game here.

ISPO supports women in the sports business

Women are highly influential within the sports business, playing an important role as customers but naturally also as managers, product developers, marketing specialists, sellers of sporting goods, sports bloggers, and sporting trip operators.

Following on from the success of the “Women in the Sports Business” initiative at ISPO Munich 2017 and 2018, the world’s largest sports trade fair will once again be putting the spotlight on women in sport, offering a special program aimed specifically at female trade visitors, exhibitors, and members of the press at ISPO Munich 2019.

Messe München GmbH and ISPO are showing their commitment with a primary focus on “Women in Leadership,” a topic we are set to hear about more and more within the sports industry and trade going forward. In partnership with the “Connecting Women” initiative, working groups and conferences are being formed to provide talented and motivated young women with the opportunity to talk to female experts about the potential and prospects for career progression.

The following are among the other highlights on the ISPO Munich 2019 program:

ISPO Munich Womens Lounge powered by Frauen verbinden

The Womens Lounge powered by Frauen verbinden is the ideal port of call for women attending the event as trade visitors, exhibitors, journalists, or bloggers. It provides the perfect setting for reconnecting with existing contacts and establishing new ones as well as planning the day ahead at the trade fair. All while sipping on a delicious Italian coffee and taking in the relaxed atmosphere. All the following events will take place in the Women's Lounge (A1.30), please note the details in the programme items for any deviations.
