Outdoor Retailer unveiled the floorplan and events and education schedule for the Outdoor + Snow Show 2020.
The show runs January 29-31, 2020, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, with the second annual Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards presented by PayPal Credit on the second night.
“Outdoor + Snow Show is the essential industry event for the outdoor and snow communities,” said Marisa Nicholson, Outdoor Retailer senior vice president and show director. “The days at the show can shape your brand and business, and this is your chance to connect and collaborate in person, see what’s new and trending, and get inspired. With snow and outdoor in one place, we’re excited to experience the combined energy and grow our industries together.”
New and established brands from across the outdoor and snowsports industries will exhibit throughout all three levels of the Colorado Convention Center. Featured areas include a redesigned Venture Out, dedicated to modern outdoor trends, and the return of Scandinavian Village and LUXE. For the design community, SOURCE will host the Textile Repurposing Station and new function-focused fabric boards alongside materials suppliers, and it remains home to the Trend + Design Center. The current floorplan and list of exhibitors are available at outdoorretailer.com and will continue to update in the lead-up to the show.
The show education schedule will generate ideas and inspiration for retailers and brands. Speakers and panel sessions will cover trends and opportunities, addressing topics such as sustainability, marketing strategy, trade and tariffs, diversity, and the latest in gear. Education begins prior to the show with Snowsports Industries America’s (SIA) Industry + Intelligence sessions (January 28-31) and Outdoor Industry Association’s (OIA) Sustainability Working Group (January 27-28) and continues through the show.
From morning breakfasts to evening networking, the events schedule also offers attendees a chance to connect. Night 2 of the show features back-to-back celebrations – the second annual Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards presented by PayPal Credit will be immediately followed by Night of Stoke.
The Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards presented by PayPal Credit recognize innovations in outdoor products, materials, and retail services, and winners will be revealed live starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Four Seasons Ballroom at the convention center. The ceremony is open to registered attendees and media, and all finalists will be on display in the Innovation Gallery throughout the show.
