IWA OutdoorClassics 2022 attracted 856 exhibitors from 53 countries to Nuremberg, 3-6 March. The international trade fair for hunting, shooting sports, outdoor activities and security, in its first in-person return since 2019, also drew 19,500 trade visitors (just under 60% being international). Exhibitors and visitors observed the relevant hygiene regulations at the Messe.
Eighty-six percent of the trade visitors reported being involved in the procurement process in their business and 70% held a senior position, according to organisers who said the pleasure of being able to meet with customers and business partners in person was palpable throughout the exhibition halls.
Petra Wolf, member of the organiser’s Management Board, commented: “With IWA OutdoorClassics, we succeeded in sending an important signal to the industry. Of course, we owe particular thanks to the exhibitors and visitors who demonstrated their confidence in us this year. We are inspired by the commitment the sector has shown, and we are already looking forward to IWA OutdoorClassics 2023.”
The next IWA OutdoorClassics will take place in its usual sequence in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg 2-5 March 2023.
All visitor, exhibitor and floor space figures for the trade fair were calculated and certified in accordance with the definitions published by FKM – German Society for Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics.
