Over 350 brands will be represented at the return of OUTDOOR, the European outdoor sector’s premier international trade show in Riva del Garda, 17-19 May. The event will be held alongside the popular Outdoor & Running Days (ORBDays) show, in five halls, and in outdoor areas around the venue.
As well as the booths, there will be a packed programme of events in and around the show, including new Activation Days for the trade and consumers, offering opportunities to engage at a deeper level with brands and their products, and a dedicated Circularity Area.
The format is a combination of product testing, workshops, networking, and training — a dynamic ecosystem where professionals and companies meet to do business, but also to share ideas, projects, and insights on trends and strategies.
The 2025 ORBDAYS concluded with record results, over 3,000 registered professionals, 130 exhibitors and 200 brands, 1,600 retailers representing 600 stores. 80 international buyers participated, from over 10 countries, including Germany, France, the United States, Mexico, Japan, Romania, Slovenia, Austria, Moldova, Ukraine, Spain, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, and Brazil.
The international aspect of the show is further strengthened thanks to the strategic alliance between ORBDAYS and EOG and through ongoing collaboration with national and international associations.
