In 2010 ispo winter will be held one week later than usual, from February 7th to 10th. The reason for this modification is a change in the U.S. trade show calendar. SnowSports Industries America (SIA) has decided to hold its SnowSports Tradeshow from January 28th to 31st, 2010, which would present a conflict with ispo winter.
“In order to find the
best possible arrangement for our customers, we spoke to many industry
representatives, and, in accordance with their response, decided to postpone
ispo winter by one week. We are in contact with SIA to discuss options to avoid
future conflicts between the two events. This one-time date change is a
solution for our national and international exhibitors and visitors, allowing
them to take part in both trade shows to be able to cover all important
markets,” explains Tobias Gröber, Business Unit Leader
Consumer Goods for Messe München GmbH.
