The organizers of Ispo are getting ready for the 71st edition of the show, reporting that the halls are fully booked with more than 100,000 square meters of exhibit space, about 12 percent more than last February. The show, being held next Feb. 6-9 in Munich, will feature around 2,000 exhibitors, with the largest contingent in the “outdoor_ispo” section. Among the side events planned alongside Ispo are the Snow, Ice and Rock Summit presented by Marmot focusing on sustainability, safety and the latest developments in the ski segment; and the “board_ispo” shop summit, which will discuss the competition from eBay and the use of social networking sites. The BrandNew Awards will have their 20th edition in 2011.
