It’s the most important event of the year in the outdoor industry, and the Outdoor Industry Compass will be there! Along with our publishing parent company EDM Publications and a host of industry experts, we are excited to be contributing to the program at this year’s OutDoor by ISPO. Read on to find out more on the two panels we will be hosting, when and where to find them, and how you can meet with us on-site.
Together with GreenroomVoice, we are bringing you two panels at this year’s OutDoor by ISPO. Both provide a practice-oriented overview of new EU regulations under the EU Green Deal, with special relevance for the outdoor industry. The panels will be held on Sunday afternoon as part of the event program, and the contents build on each other.
Panel 1: What to expect from the EU strategy for more sustainable products
Join us as we bring you a bird’s view of upcoming and existing legislation under the EU Green Deal, as it’s relevant to the Outdoor industry. Pascale Moreau from Ohana Public Affairs will tell you what’s important right now for outdoor brands and how to proactively prepare in order to align with the overarching vision of the EU Green Deal. As a German Initiative for more sustainable and socially sound textiles (and a great example of how countries align with the EU Textile Strategy), the Grüner Knopf’s Florian Tiedtke will concentrate on the practical implementation of these regulations in the Outdoor industry.
Speakers: Pascale Moreau, founder of Ohana Public Affairs, and Florian Tiedtke, GIZ Grüner Knopf
Moderation: Anna Rodewald (GreenroomVoice) and Claudia Klingelhöfer (EDM Publications/Outdoor Industry Compass)
Time: Sunday, June 4, 15:00–15:30
Location: Speaker’s Corner, Atrium 3
Panel 2: How to design for a circular future according to the upcoming “Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation” (EU Green Deal)
Following on from our previous session, we will dive deeper and have a closer look at the Proposal for Eco Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU Green Deal). Our invited experts will give an overview of the upcoming Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the timeline, and the most important key takeaways as well as who to talk to in order to stay updated and understand the impact.
Speakers: Luca Boniolo (Ohana Public Affairs) and Katarzyna Sulisz (FESI)
Moderation: Claudia Klingelhöfer (EDM Publications/Outdoor Industry Compass) and Anna Rodewald (GreenroomVoice)

And there’s more
We are also offering an exclusive roundtable on “Pricing strategies in the era of AI and global transparency” for C-level managers, which will take place on Monday afternoon and is invitation-only. To secure your invitation, please contact Claudia Klingelhöfer directly.
And if you just want to chat with us, give us some feedback on our publications, or suggest interviews or topics, our team is looking forward to seeing you on-site. We will have a booth in the Sustainability Hub, but for most of the trade show, we will be out and about around the venue. So feel free to write to us at oicompass@edmpublications.com.
