For the fourth time ispo winter presents the ”ispo Best Ager Gallery” marketplace. A 225 square meter exhibition platform takes the Best Ager segment to a new level. The project involves the setup of a sample shop according to criteria that have already proved themselves in other sectors. The sample shop also offers the perfect environment for exhibitors pioneering this growth market with their products. The scheduled Best Ager fashion show is an appealing innovation.
The new styles enter the catwalk with fresh and
vibrant colors instead of old and gray looks. Additionally, the
supporting program will offer panel discussions with experts from
other business sectors, who will speak about their experiences in this
segment.
As a unique and centralized information platform on the topic of
Best Ager in sports, the Gallery offers industry experts and media
representatives a comprehensive overview of the current and future
market situation. Why not use the opportunity to present your
product range in an appropriate environment? Extensive communications
measures guarantee maximum distribution. Registration

ispo Group joined forces with the Team Joachim Franz
In the last few years the team, founded by Joachim Franz in 1999, has
managed to build up a level of conveyance for the difficult topic of
HIV/AIDS through sport. "Sport communicates, develops and reflects!"
The Team Joachim Franz follow this motto every year with a new idea
that always hit the headlines.
In the last few years the team, founded by Joachim Franz in 1999, has

HIV/AIDS through sport. "Sport communicates, develops and
reflects!" The Team Joachim Franz follow this motto every year with a
new idea that always hit the headlines. Six successful, but completely
different expeditions have been organised and carried out. How much
strength must people have that can follow such a path?
The ispo Group stands for sport, but also for all the values
that are communicated by sport, so it was only a matter of time before
the ispo Group and the Team Joachim Franz joined forces, a
fact hailed by the highest instances as a "best practise project".
The Team is partner of the United Nations UNAIDS and started in 2007
under the patronage of the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel.
We are very happy that we can present our partnership and future
expeditions within the framework of the ispo events in the
coming years.
