It’s the most important event of the year in the outdoor industry, and our sister publication, the Outdoor Industry Compass will be there! Along with our publishing parent company EDM Publications and a host of industry experts, we are excited to be contributing to the program at this year’s OutDoor by ISPO. Read on to find out more on the two panels we will be hosting, when and where to find them, and how you can meet with us on-site.

Together with GreenroomVoice, we are bringing you two panels at this year’s OutDoor by ISPO. Both provide a practice-oriented overview of new EU regulations under the EU Green Deal, with special relevance for the outdoor industry. The panels will be held on Sunday afternoon as part of the event program, and the contents build on each other.

Panel 1: What to expect from the EU strategy for more sustainable products

What to expect from the EU strategy for more sustainable products (2)

Join us as we bring you a bird’s view of upcoming and existing legislation under the EU Green Deal, as it’s relevant to the Outdoor industry. Pascale Moreau from Ohana Public Affairs will tell you what’s important right now for outdoor brands and how to proactively prepare in order to align with the overarching vision of the EU Green Deal. As a German Initiative for more sustainable and socially sound textiles (and a great example of how countries align with the EU Textile Strategy), the Grüner Knopf’s Florian Tiedtke will concentrate on the practical implementation of these regulations in the Outdoor industry.

Speakers: Pascale Moreau, founder of Ohana Public Affairs, and Florian Tiedtke, GIZ Grüner Knopf
