The Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Denver is North America’s largest tradeshow in the outdoor industry drawing attendees from around the world.

The Summer Market is where new products are shown, orders are written, new accounts are found, connections are made and brands are launched.

This show is about buying, sourcing, strategic meetings, trend, education and networking with decision makers, influencers, stakeholders, key buyers and athletes that influence the outdoor market.

Gripped Publishing has been attending the show for over 20 years and we’re looking forward to seeing what the next big piece of gear will be for 2019.
