The Lunar New Year in 2015 falls on February 19. According to the previous schedule, the approximately two-week Spring Festival holiday would inevitably conflict with the usual timing of the exhibition. Moving the event to mid-March would not align with the ordering cycles of many manufacturers. Therefore, Messe München, the organizer of ISPO BEIJING, has decided to hold ISPO BEIJING 2015 before the Spring Festival.
Mr. Klaus Dittrich, President and CEO of Messe München, stated: “The change in the exhibition dates is a decision made after consulting with clients and partners and reaching consensus.” This means that ISPO BEIJING 2015 will follow closely after the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City, USA, and will be held for the first time before ISPO MUNICH (February 5–8, 2015, in Munich).

Mr. Chen Shaoli, General Manager of Outdoor Sports China, Amer Sports Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Salomon)
We have participated in several editions of ISPO MUNICH in Germany. This is our first time at ISPO BEIJING. It’s a great opportunity to let more consumers in China’s industry get to know our brand. ISPO BEIJING plays a significant role in China’s outdoor industry. Many people came to the show to learn about industry trends, changes, and new brands.
Mr. Martin Netinder, Sales Director for Emerging Markets, Peak Performance
We are very pleased to participate in ISPO BEIJING for the first time this year. Our goal is to showcase our brand and launch our products to an Asian audience. ISPO BEIJING provided us with an excellent platform to achieve these goals. We are satisfied with the number of visitors at the show, and we plan to make our collaboration with ISPO BEIJING a long-term commitment.
Mr. Israel Maynard, General Manager of China, Burton (Beijing) Trading Co., Ltd. (BURTON)
We are very happy to be here. For me personally, this is my second time attending ISPO BEIJING. I feel this year’s show is quite different from last year’s — both the quantity and quality of visitors are better. This year, ISPO BEIJING has attracted more retailers, department stores, traders, and enthusiasts from the outdoor and winter sports industries. This allows us to interact more directly with our Chinese customers.
Mr. Nicolas Warchalowski
This is our third time participating in ISPO BEIJING. In 2011, ISPO BEIJING helped us find a very good partner. We are very pleased to have used ISPO BEIJING to open up our brand's market in China and gain more attention. ISPO BEIJING is becoming increasingly well-known in China, and professionals in the outdoor industry have long been aware of this exhibition. You can see many competing brands at the show, but ISPO BEIJING has created a good environment for us, so we welcome this kind of friendly and mutually encouraging competition.
Mr. Matthias Preussel, Mammut, Head of Far East Sales
We only established our branch in China last year, which is why we started participating in ISPO BEIJING so late. But we hope to have long-term cooperation with ISPO BEIJING. This year there were more visitors and exhibitors at the show, and ISPO BEIJING has become more international. From my personal experience, there were noticeably more European and American visitors compared to last year. Overall, the growth is quite good.
Mr. Claes Broqvist, Odlo, International Sales Director
ISPO BEIJING is a great exhibition. It has high visibility and influence in Asia, which is why we are here to participate. The number and quality of visitors this year were both very good, and there were also many competing companies, both domestic and international. Through the exhibition, we can meet them, get to know them, and learn a lot from them. It’s a great opportunity for us to improve.
From January 28–31, 2015, ISPO BEIJING looks forward to meeting you in Beijing, at the China National Convention Center. See you there!
