Did you hear?… Summer ispo 2002 has moved its dates to early August

Summer ispo 2002 has moved its dates to early August. Next year, the show will take place from Aug. 3-6. This year the show (www.ispo.com) was in late July. It will still take place on a Saturday to Tuesday, show management has announced. The decision was made based primarily on input from German retailers and retail groups and organizations who didn’t want the show held before that country’s annual summer sales begin since they told ispo management they didn’t have time to organize and analyze their buying needs when they were busy preparing for the semi-annual sales. OutDoor Friedrichshafen will be Saturday, Aug. 17 to Tuesday, Aug. 20 (www.messe-fn.de), or the weekend after Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, Aug. 8-11.
