Hosted Buyers Program
Qualifying retailers can take advantage of OR’s hosted buyer program, which subsidizes a part of travel expenses to the show.
Launched last year, the program is designed to ensure that the types of product development teams, specialty retailers, and omnichannel retailers brands want to meet with are there.
“Our hosted buyer program is designed to deliver the audience that exhibiting brands care about,” Smith said.
The hosted buyer program is still open for applications.
Industry Day Bonus
All attendees and exhibitors are also invited to Industry Day, a half-day conference held on June 17, one day before the show opens.
Representatives from Google, Cotopaxi, Salomon, Orvis, Locally, Skullcandy and so many more will discuss some of the most pressing trends in the outdoor industry, such as artificial intelligence, experiential retail, and the creator economy.
