Fifteen years ago, when “outdoor” was mentioned in China, the conversation often veered toward tourism just to avoid the awkward silence that might otherwise ensue. Back then, ISPO had just entered the Chinese market.
Fifteen years later, even bringing up the topic of the outdoors can still lead to silence. The scope of outdoor activities now ranges widely—from skiing to water sports, from extreme to off-road disciplines. Conversationalists must specify their exact area of interest to keep the dialogue going.
In the blink of an eye, ISPO is also about to celebrate its 15th anniversary event. Over these 15 years, ISPO has witnessed the rise and fall of the industry, the upgrading of enthusiasts’ sporting pursuits, and the evolution of the once-nascent outdoor concept into one that’s now deeply rooted in people’s minds.From January 16–19, 2019, ISPO Beijing 2019—the 15th Asia Outdoor Trade Show & Expo—will grandly open at the China International Exhibition Center (New Venue) in Beijing..
Whether you’re here for industry networking or as a professional enthusiast, the 15th-anniversary ISPO Beijing 2019 has prepared a rich variety of on-site activities for you. Come explore with Xiaoyuer right now!
