Published: 11th Mar 2022
Munich, Germany (08 February 2022) - After ISPO Munich was moved to November 28 to 30 and OutDoor by ISPO to June 12 to 14, Messe München is now also reorganizing the ISPO Group team: Tobias Gröber, alongside his role as Director Business Unit Consumer Goods, will also be responsible again for the entire trade fair and online portfolio for the ISPO Group.
Lena Haushofer takes over responsibility for OutDoor by ISPO and ISPO Munich as Project Director.
“With new dates and a newly organized team of experienced and new people, we have laid the foundation for realigning ISPO and hence for a successful future. We are already pulling out all the stops to get exhibitors and visitors interested in the next OutDoor by ISPO in June and then the new ISPO Munich in November,” says Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. “With IAA Mobility, Expo Real and productronica, we already proved in the fall of 2021 that we can hold major international events successfully and safely.”
Alexandra Denker is also assuming a new task in the ISPO team: She is taking over from Bastian Dietz, who left the team to focus on industry, as Bike & Snowsports Community Manager for ISPO Munich and IAA Mobility. The previous Head of ISPO Group, Dr. Jeanette Friedrich, has also decided to seek new professional challenges.
