The trade fairs will be merged for the upcoming edition in May, share the infrastructure and cooperate in marketing.
“Every event during the week has to be convincing in itself, and we have put together a program that we believe that it does, but went on,” said Eog Director Christian Schneidermeier. “Our new series of events will complement and support each other and address a much wider audience than every single event. The European Outdoor Week will not only have a much higher profile and a greater reach, but also offer a better price-performance ratio than earlier specialist events for companies that opt for participation.”
The European Outdoor Week will take place in Riva del Garda from May 15th to 20th. The trade fairs take place in parallel from 17 to May 18.
