2023 Summit - Berlin

Cambridge 2024

The summit is held annually for around 300 delegates to learn more about and discuss the issues that we, as an industry, collectively face. The topics are always related to industry needs and focus on current and future economic, technical and social trends, to develop a theme and content that matters to our industry.

The summit is directed at senior executives and decision makers; however, due to the success of the summit last year in Berlin, where we hosted over 250 outdoor industry leaders, and with the inclusion of other senior level directors, such as CSR, sustainability and marketing, we plan to continue to promote content to diversify attendees to the event.

This year the EOS will take place on the 18th –19th September in Cambridge. The agenda is currently being developed– it will be a two day programme of presentations, networking and social events exploring the latest (and future) developments in the specific context of the outdoor industry that stimulate debate and discussion in a non-competitive environment, with the ultimate aim to improve business practices and promote sustainable growth and innovation.

Venue & Location

Berlin, Germany.

The venue for this year’s summit is Festaal Kreuzberg, an eclectic events and concert venue which is located in the Treptow-Köpenick district, the largest and greenest neighbourhood of Berlin. Situated on the banks of the river Spree, it is surrounded by history being just across the river from the East Side Gallery Memorial, the permanent open-air gallery on the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall. With good train, bus and underground connections, this venue is under 20 minutes from Berlin’s centre.

Airport: The airport Berlin Brandenburg "Willy Brandt" (IATA code BER) is the central airport for Berlin.
Trains: Berlin has several train stations, with the two main ones being Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station) and Berlin Ostbahnhof (Berlin East Station). The city is well-connected by rail to other cities in Germany and Europe.
Buses: Berlin has a central bus station called Berlin ZOB, which serves as a hub for many national and international bus lines.

Host Association

For the 2023 summit we are extremely pleased to be working in conjunction with EOG partner association, BSI.

More than 150 companies with a total of well over 200 brands belong to it. Among them are international market leaders from various branches of sport.
