Some events you attend. Others you feel part of. From 3-5 November, the sport and outdoor world comes together at RAI Amsterdam for ISPO, co-located with The International Running Expo, and we genuinely can't wait to welcome you.
This is where sport, culture and commerce collide. It's where old friends reconnect over coffee, where new connections turn into partnerships, and where the ideas shaping what's next get their first proper outing. Whether you live for the trail, the slopes, the pitch or the water, there's a space here for you.
Here's what's coming together
Across three days and one venue, we're expecting:
- 30,000 visitors
- 2,000 exhibiting brands
- 60+ countries represented
- 6 stages
- 200+ speakers
- 80+ sessions
- 3 award programmes
- 50+ industry bodies and media partners
Brands you'll want to meet
The halls will be full of names you know and love, alongside plenty you'll be glad you discovered.
The Outdoor, hike and adventure community can look forward to the likes of Rab, Vango, Berghaus, Montane, Mountain Equipment and Craghoppers. Running and performance brings in Suunto, Coros, Skechers Running and SiS, while active lifestyle and apparel features Fabletics, Sweaty Betty, 4F and many more. From padel and racket sports to water sports, winter and camping, you'll find everything from established favourites to exciting newcomers ready to show off what they've been working on.
Retailers are engaging
ISPO has always been built for business, and this year is no exception. Our €1M Hosted Buyer Programme will welcome 500+ key buyers to Amsterdam, and we're expecting more than 4,000 scheduled meetings between buyers and exhibitors across the three days. Buying groups are already confirmed from retailers including Intersport, GO Outdoors, REI Co-op, Ellis Brigham and Cape Union Mart, travelling from across Europe, the UK, the US, South Africa and beyond.
Our Retail Advisory Council, including senior representatives from Sport 2000 Group International, Sportler and Yonderland, has also helped shape the show so it works hard for everyone in the room.
Voices worth hearing
Across six stages, you'll hear from the people leading, disrupting and reimagining our industry.
The ISPO Leaders Summit brings together inspirational names such as Olympic champion Allyson Felix, adventurer and filmmaker Jimmy Chin, and The North Face founder Hap Klopp, joined by leaders from organisations including UEFA, New Balance, Decathlon and Amazon Sports.
At the Expo, The Brand & Retail Horizons stage explores where retail is heading next. The Fashion & Textiles Hub dives into design, repair and sustainability. The Ingredients & Components Impact Forum looks at the materials of the future, the Podcast Studio keeps things conversational, and the Brandnew Launchpad is where you'll spot tomorrow's big names first.
More than a trade show
Between the meetings and the talks, there's plenty to get stuck into. Watch pro riders take on the Rock A Rail Snowfest, test your skills in Skill.Lab The Cube, or race a friend up the climbing wall at the Peak Challenge. Catch Eco Age's lunchtime Fashion Show, explore circular thinking at The Loop, or join the International Running Expo programme for a speed session with Olympic sprinter Dafne Schippers.
