The Big Gear Show (BGS), the outdoor-industry’s new hard goods-focused trade show, announced that the July 2020 event will start with a full day outdoors. Registered retail buyers are invited to test products, network and celebrate the industry with participating cycling, outdoor and paddlesports manufacturers.
The Park City Multi-Sport Demo Day will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at Deer Valley Resort beginning at 10am and will finish with an after-party premium cookout, followed by live music at the resort’s amphitheater just a few steps away. Deer Valley Resort is a world-class active lifestyle playground situated 7,200 feet above sea level, so show-goers will enjoy alpine scenery, comfortable temperatures and low humidity, even in late July.
The Multi-Sport Demo Includes:
- Complimentary shuttles running attendees to and from the Salt Palace Convention Center, a 40-minute drive;
- Six acres of on-site paddling ponds with easy, grass-covered put-ins, space for boat staging and easy access to exhibitor booths;
- Direct lift access to more than 70 miles of mountain bike trails, plus guided road cycling rides for all abilities and fitness levels (eBike paths, road rides, and trail demos available); and
- Climbing and bouldering trips to nearby Wasatch Mountain crags.
“Deer Valley Resort is a world-class setting for a bicycling event. The riding opportunities are spectacular for both on and off road riders,” said Rod Judd, PeopleForBikes’ membership and development director. “Attending a demo event there will remind you why it’s a pleasure to work in our industry.”
“Kicking-off the July event with a demo at Deer Valley Resort in Park City is a great idea. The promise of a high-quality multi-sport demo in a picturesque location is a compelling invitation,” said vice president of Wenonah Canoe Bill Kueper. “We are excited to be on board.”
Retailer registration for the multi-sport demo is included when you register for free for The Big Gear Show in Salt Lake City at the Salt Palace Convention Center starting the following day. Retailers are also reminded that for a limited time only, qualified retailers can earn up to $150 per night for lodging, beginning the night of July 22 and continuing through July 24th – for a total reimbursement of up to $450. The deadline and the last day to register for a full reimbursement in The Big Gear Show’s retailer lodging incentive is March 1, 2020.
