WELCOME TO THE SUMMIT MEETING OF THE OUTDOOR WORLD

Once a year the outdoor world gets together in Friedrichshafen.

The OurDoor is the community’s fixed meeting point. Friends, colleagues and business partners from all over the world gather together here in this unique atmosphere. And, in the process, some high level business gets done.

During the world’s leading trade show, over 900 exhibitors present themselves. All the decision makers from industry, trade and service providers along with all the important media get their information about the latest innovations, trends and news.

Over an area of 85,000 m², one of the most successful branches in the world shows what’s new for “outdoor” adventures large and small.

We would like to welcome you and wish you every success at the OutDoor!

Business WITH OUTDOOR SPORTS AND URBAN OUTDOOR STYLE If you do business with the outdoors, you have to be at the OutDoor. That’s because you can take in all the innovations and all the trends in one glance. It doesn’t matter if you sell clothing, shoes or equipment. And it doesn’t even matter if your customers are classic mountain climbers or hip trendsetters from the city.

The OutDoor showcases the latest developments. From tried and tested expedition equipment for extreme sports fans to fashionable sandals for the asphalt jungle. On top of that, there are all kinds of highlights, like the OutDoor Fashion Show, the OutDoor Industry Award, OutDoor Conferences, the OutDoor Movie Nights, the Trail Running Parcours, the OutDoor Tent City, a boulder and speed climbing wall and of course the legendary OutDoor Party.

The OutDoor is more than just a trade show.

This is where the spirit of the outdoor world lives.
