Messe Friedrichshafen and its partner the European Outdoor Group (EOG) have announced the future dates of the international OutDoor trade show. Next year, the OutDoor at Lake Constance moves forward to June 18 – 21, 2017 and starts on a Sunday. The 25th Outdoor will take place from June 17-20, 2018.
This year’s OutDoor takes place as planned from July 13 to 16, 2016 with a strong international attendance, including more than 900 exhibitors.
“By starting the show on a Sunday, we would provide the perfect opportunity for independent retailers to join the show without having to sacrifice a day’s trading. This was then discussed and agreed by the membership of the EOG at the Annual Assembly in January,” explains Mark Held, EOG general secretary. “The most obvious question I have been asked so far, is whether this will simply move order dates forward? The answer to that is a simple ‘no’ and we expect that order dates will remain as they are now.”
