ISPO Munich 2025 launches Retail Club for targeted exchange in retail

With the new Retail Club, ISPO Munich is presenting a comprehensive support programme for the sports and textile trade. The free programme connects retailers with brands, industry experts and innovation drivers – both at and outside the trade fair.

New format for retail: more exchange, clear orientation

The Retail Club aims to make the trade fair experience more efficient and practical. Members receive exclusive benefits such as a free trade fair ticket, access to the Retail Lounge, guided tours and a specialised conference programme. The aim is to facilitate direct dialogue between retailers, industry and brands – accompanied by targeted matchmaking and up-to-date market analyses. Access to knowledge remains guaranteed even after the trade fair: the club regularly provides its members with industry insights and strategic impetus.

Retail friendliness as a central trade fair promise

With its new concept, ISPO Munich is actively responding to the needs of the retail sector. The integration of networking formats, curated topics and personalised offers strengthens the visibility of specialist retailers within the trade fair. For exhibitors, this means more relevant contacts and more targeted discussions. ISPO is thus pursuing its goal of not only being a platform, but also an active shaper of industry development and future dialogue.

Industry network with strategic depth

The response from retailers has been positive: associations such as FEDAS see the Retail Club as an important initiative to strengthen European specialist retailers. With its combination of orientation, exchange and access to innovation, ISPO Munich 2025 is further expanding its role as a central business platform. The next trade fair will take place from 30 November to 2 December 2025 in Munich – with a new hall concept and a clear commitment to retail relevance.
