The ISPO AWARDs Exhibit (A6.518, B3.405, B3.122B) provides a comprehensive overview of the most innovative products from the sporting goods industry. The ISPO AWARD winners are selected by an independent jury. This is the first time there are also awards for the Marketing segment, for creative communication projects revolving around sports, and Asian Products, a platform for up and coming sporting goods brands from Asia. Furthermore, the winners and finalists of the sports business’ largest newcomer’s competition present their innovations at the ISPO BRANDNEW (C2.101/500) exhibit area.
