IWA OutdoorClassics 2021 cancelled
IWA OutdoorClassics, held from 8 to 11 March, enjoyed further growth this year, with 1,622 exhibitors (2018: 1,562) from around the world spread through eleven halls at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. The leading international exhibition for hunting and shooting sports, outdoor equipment and equipment for civilian and official security requirements, IWA OutdoorClassics has been the meeting point for manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, retailers and mail order firms, authorities and the trade press from the relevant sectors for 46 years. Once again this year, the event drew about 46,000 trade visitors to Nuremberg (2018: 46,562)*.
In a context of general consolidation in the industry in Germany and discussions regarding the implementation of the new European Firearms Directive in the EU, IWA OutdoorClassics continued to provide a firm foundation with its strong international attendance and the expertise of its trade visitors.
The question of digitalisation also creates new challenges for manufacturers and the specialist trade. The supporting programme included a presentation of the opportunities offered by digitalisation at the “Retail 4.0” special exhibition area: lectures, discussion rounds and practical, real and virtual examples illustrated the form the buying experience of the future could take. The blogger lounge also offered the opportunity to network with players in the online communities for a second time.
The next IWA OutdoorClassics will take place as usual in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from Friday 6 to Monday 9 March 2020.
