The successful launch of the eSports arena at ISPO Munich in February proved that there is huge interest for digital sports within the industry.
It is impossible to imagine the world of sports and society without eSports - for ISPO it is a clear sign to address digital sport in its network. With the eSports Arena in Hall C6 there will be eSports to touch - expect experts to give you a first, general insight into the topic in workshops and point out potentials for the sporting goods industry. There will also be live games and a friendly match between FC Bayern Basketball and the community.
What will tomorrow's digital value chain look like? What awaits retailers and what awaits brands? At what point in the value chain could a digital solution help to be more efficient and better able to respond to customers? Exhibitors at ISPO Digitize will present solutions for design, procurement, production, point of sale (e.g. Digital Signage, Magic Mirror), online trading and also offer consulting services for digitalization.
The ISPO Academy is a unique learning and training platform for the sports industry, offering global events and seminars alongside a selection of online resources to which we are continually adding. The webinars can be accessed any time – all year round.
This platform is also a great way for companies and brands to present themselves in an extremely positive light. The Trends, Innovation and Industry Services segment is your ticket to the sporting goods industry of the future.
