We liked the first OutDoor by Ispo fair because of its atmosphere and its convenience. While using a lot of wood and cutting down on the use of paper in the name of sustainability, the open spaces did not place any brand in the foreground as at Ispo Munich, leading them to reduce investments in extra space to stand out and creating a welcoming community spirit. Exhibitors were also attracted by reduced rates for participation in multiple fairs organized by Messe München. They were a total of 1,018 companies from 35 countries, spread over nine halls on the east side of the Munich fairgrounds. The convenience of a host city like Munich that can be accessed easily, with plenty of hotel space to choose from, was probably also a major factor for the increase in the number of visitors as compared to the last show in Friedrichshafen one year ago, which reported an uncertified number of 20,000 daily visits.
