Registration opens for events at the first European Outdoor Week Riva del Garda Italy 14-19 May
From 14-19 May, Riva del Garda and the Garda Trentino area will become the European and international outdoor and running capital, attracting both industry professionals and a large and diverse community of enthusiasts.
The dedicated days for the Outdoor trade show (17-19 May) will be at the heart of the first European Outdoor Week (14-19 May), which will also incorporate the Outdoor Impact Summit (14-15 May), the EOG Assembly (16 May), the European Outdoor Awards (16 May) ceremony, as well as events and initiatives to test product and enjoy the local area.
By combining the events into one focused week, the EOG and MagNet have responded to the industry’s demand for fewer calendar commitments, and more effective gatherings that optimise costs and resources. Outdoor businesses can now contact the booking team at MagNet to explore the best options available for getting involved in EOW.
As part of the EOW, the European Outdoor Awards return with a completely renewed format. The awards will stand as the industry’s most prestigious recognition, celebrating innovation, research, and technological excellence. The initiative will highlight the most advanced products, materials, and solutions, promoting new frontiers in design, performance, functionality, and sustainability.
The Outdoor Trade Show returns with renewed energy and a refreshed format, joining forces with the Outdoor & Running Business Days in Riva del Garda to create an even more dynamic, experiential, and forward-looking event. A historic European trade fair and long-standing reference point for the international outdoor industry, Outdoor has been the sector’s leading summer-season meeting place for over 30 years. After a pause in 2025,
Christian Schneidermeier, EOG director, comments: “This is a really exciting moment for the outdoor sector. We received a very positive response to the launch of European Outdoor Week and have since been adding more detail and value to our plans, working closely with the team at MagNet. We’ve had a laser focus on building a programme that will deliver deep engagement, dynamism, relevance and of course, outstanding value for money. That is what we are now able to present in detail to every part of our industry and I urge colleagues to engage and get involve – there really are ‘No Excuses’ to not attend. European Outdoor Week is going to be an essential event on what is now a compelling calendar and we’re very much looking forward to bringing the outdoor community together next May in Riva del Garda.”
