ISPO is the largest sporting goods trade fair in Europe and is seen as the springboard into Europe and beyond. In 2010 the show attracted a record 2,045 exhibitors and 64,000 international industry visitors from 177 countries, reflecting the international status of the show.
At the 2010 show, as ISPO celebrated its 40th year anniversary, the FSPA fronted its largest UK Exhibitor Group yet with a total of 13 UK exhibitors making up the group which was for the first tim situated in Hall B4; the Performance Hall.

ISPO 2010 - 2011
The size of the UK group is evident to how more and more companies have recognised the value of exhibiting within a UK area, along with being an attractive choice for companies new to ISPO who realise the groups collective attendance will assist in bringing greater footfall to their stands, as the area’s presence within the show has grown significantly year on year.

Accredited Trade Organisation
The FSPA not only supports the group with all their planning and preparation for the show, but also operates as an Accredited Trade Organisation (ATO) and working closely with UK Trade & Investment assisted 30 companies in total to exhibit at ispo2010. Brands in outdoor ispo, boardsports ispo and Sports Source Europe have all been helped to come from the UK to attend ispo and through the FSPA have gained TAP export grants, which have assisted greatly with their exhibitor costs.
Exhibitor Feedback
SAFEA Members Eveque - Attending ISPO for the first time were leisure equipment suppliers Eveque Ltd.
“This was our first year exhibiting at ISPO and we have made some really promising new contacts from all corners of the globe. The show also provided us with a timely opportunity to catch up with some of our existing suppliers and distributors which is always welcome. We attended in the UK pavilion, fronted by the FSPA and are very grateful to the FSPA team for all their help and assistance both in the run up to and during the show itself. We would certainly recommend this option to others." Tom Bunner, Managing Director
SAFEA Members Primo Play - a well established company at the show, having exhibited for over ten years within the UK area.
“After seeing the show develop over a ten year period, it was great to see such a big UK presence this year, with the UK Pavilion flags visible from all areas of the B4 Hall, really making us stand out.” Neil Jennings, Director
