As a forward-looking platform for stationary retailers and e-commerce providers, the club offers an exclusive contact point for exchange, networking and access to market insights. While new technologies, changing customer needs and innovative business models are shaping the market, the ISPO Retail Club creates the ideal platform to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. Here, retailers not only find orientation, but also the opportunity to refine their business ideas and strategies.
With this initiative, ISPO is strengthening the role of retail and making "retail friendliness" tangible through strategic support, practice-oriented impulses and direct access to relevant contacts.

An exclusive network for multi-brand retailers
The ISPO Retail Club is an exclusive platform that offers sports and fashion retailers a VIP treatment and enables as much business in 48h as in 48 days at ISPO 2025.
It offers much more than just access to the renowned ISPO trade show: Members of the club receive year-round benefits, including regularly updated market analyses, whitepapers and webinars on current retail topics. ISPO wants to promote exchange and networking and equip retailers with valuable knowledge that can be implemented directly in the business.
Increased focus on retail friendliness
A central element of ISPO 2025 is the promised retail-friendliness concept. The ISPO Retail Club ensures that retailers have the right contacts and valuable tools at their disposal not only during the trade show, but throughout the year. ISPO wants to help retailers get the most out of their ISPO visit by easily connecting them with brands and other sports retailers, offering them inspiration and knowledge transfer, and making their visit as efficient and enjoyable as possible.
The aim is to promote direct exchange between retailers, brands and solution providers and to create a strong, networked community that will have a lasting impact on the global sports market. ISPO 2025 will thus become an unmissable event for all players in the sports retail industry.
7 trends that will shape retail
VIP treatment and networking in the Retail Club Lounge
The true added value of the Retail Club will also be visible at ISPO 2025 itself. Club members benefit from an exclusive VIP treatment: free admission to the trade show, fast track access via the Fast Lane and access to the Retail Club Lounge, where they can talk to other decision-makers from the sports industry in a relaxed atmosphere. This enables participants to make valuable contacts and efficiently expand their business opportunities. In addition, the matchmaking tool ensures that the right partners can be found quickly and easily before, during and after the trade show.
Best practices and market insights at ISPO
Another important component of the Retail Club is the specially curated conference program. In exclusive talks and workshops, retailers and decision-makers will gain in-depth insights into retail best practices and valuable market knowledge. These sessions will focus on current and future trends, new technologies and successful business models that will transform the industry. There will also be a "Future of Retail Store" experience area where innovative store concepts can be experienced live. This offers retailers the chance to discover new ideas and apply them directly to their own stores.
Valuable partnerships and networking
The ISPO Retail Club is not just a membership, it is a long-term partnership that helps retailers find orientation at the kick-off and strengthen their market position. In addition to the practical benefits at the trade show, members also benefit from a global network of experts and partners from the sports industry.
Participation in exclusive networking events and the "Retailer of the Year" award ceremony ensures maximum visibility and offers additional incentives to get actively involved in the event. In this way, members can raise their profile and create new business opportunities.
Added value for the entire industry
The ISPO Retail Club is not only a one-time opportunity during the trade show, but also offers long-term added value through regular market analysis and exclusive content. Members receive access to a free trial subscription to "Sporting Goods Intelligence Europe by EDM Publications", a leading source of industry data and analysis. This allows them to access up-to-date information at any time and strategically develop their business. The club is therefore an indispensable tool for retailers who want to keep their finger on the pulse in a fast-moving industry.
