We just heard from the folks at Outdoor Retailer that they are looking for a larger venue to host the show. This is one of the events we head attend to find out what new products and players are moving between the tactical and outdoor markets.
“Outdoor Retailer (OR) and the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) are engaging the industry in a consultative and comprehensive approach to determine the best growth path and location for the future for the semi-annual outdoor trade shows. The initiative is necessary, as participation in the evolving outdoor industry event continues to grow beyond the current facilities available at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, host city since 1996.”
“A formal discussion period will launch soon within the “Collective Voice” website, however everyone is welcome to visit the site at www.outdoorretailer.com/collective-voice, a destination for learning about the event’s history along with a small list of venues in the nation that could host the current show while engaging in ongoing discussions in a secure moderated online forum.”
