ISPO 2026

About ISPO 2026

ISPO 2026 enters an exciting new chapter as the world's most influential trade event for the global sporting goods, outdoor, winter sports, and active lifestyle industries. Scheduled to take place from 3–5 November 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands, the exhibition introduces a completely new strategic direction, moving from its long-standing home in Munich to Amsterdam while adopting an earlier November schedule that better aligns with international buying cycles. This transformation reflects the industry's evolving needs and reinforces ISPO's position as the leading business platform connecting brands, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, investors, policymakers, and innovators from around the world.

With more than 50 years of heritage, ISPO has continuously evolved alongside the global sports industry. The 2026 edition is organised through a joint venture between Raccoon Media Group and Messe München, combining ISPO's internationally recognised legacy with a fresh, community-driven approach focused on innovation, sustainability, commercial growth, and meaningful business connections. Backed by a €3 million investment programme, ISPO 2026 introduces significant enhancements including a global hosted buyer programme, expanded educational content, and initiatives supporting grassroots sports and environmental protection.

ISPO 2026 brings together the complete sports business ecosystem under one roof. The exhibition covers sporting goods, outdoor equipment, winter sports products, performance apparel, footwear, fitness equipment, sports technology, wearable devices, health and wellness products, sustainable materials, manufacturing technologies, retail solutions, digital commerce, sports nutrition, recovery solutions, mobility products, and innovative start-ups. The event enables brands to showcase new product launches, strengthen international distribution networks, discover emerging market trends, and establish valuable partnerships across the global sports value chain.

A defining feature of ISPO 2026 is its new three-day format. Day One is dedicated exclusively to the ISPO Leaders' Summit, an invitation-only executive forum bringing together CEOs, policymakers, investors, and senior industry leaders to discuss critical topics including sustainability, participation, fair trade, digital transformation, and the future of sport. Days Two and Three focus on the international exhibition, where exhibitors present innovative products, technologies, and services while engaging with buyers, distributors, retailers, and media from across the world. This revised structure creates greater commercial value while encouraging high-level industry dialogue.

The overarching vision of ISPO 2026 is to "Unite the Global Sports Industry." The event explores how innovation, sustainability, digital technologies, circular manufacturing, responsible sourcing, and consumer engagement are reshaping the future of sport and outdoor recreation. Dedicated conference stages, keynote sessions, networking programmes, hosted buyer meetings, innovation showcases, athlete presentations, and industry discussions provide visitors with valuable market intelligence and commercial opportunities. Whether you manufacture sports apparel, outdoor equipment, footwear, fitness technologies, performance textiles, or digital sports solutions, ISPO 2026 provides direct access to the international decision-makers driving the future of the global sports industry.
