With a record of 318 delegates registered for the event, the third edition of the European Outdoor Summit (EOS), held in Sheffield, England on Oct. 13-15, was described as a success. High-caliber chief executives and other managers were among the delegates, who came from 20 different European countries as well as the U.S., China and Canada. The two previous editions of the EOS were held in Stockholm and Tegernsee, Germany. The next one is now planned for Sept. 29-30, 2016 in Barcelona, where it will be hosted by the Spanish sporting goods industry association, Afydad. The date has been shifted from an originally planned Sept. 26-28 schedule in order to avoid a possible conflict of dates with a similar and older annual outdoor industry convention in the U.S., the OIA Rendez-vous, which will likely be held next year in Denver, Colorado.
