Attendee Quotes
"We had the strongest day we've ever had at Outdoor Retailer on the first day of this summer's show. The quality of conversations we had and caliber of people we talked to was perfectly in line with our needs right now and what we're looking for. We were all super pumped. We come to Outdoor Retailer for the exposure to more accounts and to national accounts." —Brenton Schulze, director of sales at 4ocean
“We joined last minute and we’re glad we did. It was awesome to see the show start to pick back up again and it felt much more like the pre-COVID days. It was also great to see so many friends from overseas that I haven’t gotten to see in three years!” —Jeff Popp, Kokopelli general manager and director of product
“Our booth traffic the first two days felt like old times as we were busy both days with high-quality and highly engaged appointments. The positive reaction to our Spring and Summer ‘23 product lineup gives us a lot of confidence for the future. We loved seeing so many great brands together — from older legacy to new startups — doing amazing work to keep people active and enjoying the outdoors.” — Greg Williamson, president of CamelBak
"The show was fantastic – as always, the seminars were so valuable, I met a lot of our vendors IRL, and spotted some great new gear for the shop. It was fantastic to see the show so alive. I'm looking forward to SLC in January." —Hayley Parry, merchandise manager at Mt. Hood Meadows Resort
“It's exciting to finally be exhibiting at Outdoor Retailer. This is an opportunity for us to reveal some of our newest innovative products, like the 2-Second Easy Tent, our Ultra-Compact SUP and Easybreath snorkeling mask, in addition to teasing some new products for 2023 like the Grvl 900 titanium gravel bike. We really enjoyed the overall event organization, from daily updates on the app to having the opportunity to connect with our partners, potential retail partners and so many like-minded people who are passionate about the outdoors." —Franco Banfi, chief operating Officer of decathlon USA
"The summer show was a great moment and space to connect with brands and suppliers who share in the passion for outdoor products and sustainability. We really enjoyed seeing some of the new up-and-coming brands as well as all the great sustainable innovation from global material suppliers. We're looking forward to the winter show in 2023 to make more connections and seek further inspiration." —Tom Burgher, manager apparel accessories at Nike
“We are going to miss coming to the show in Denver, but we are also looking forward to going back to SLC. Being a Utah company it sure makes it nice to attend and support a show in your home state. We are looking forward to the future and are excited for next year.” —Brooks Hansen, PR manager for Camp Chef
“Our booth was buzzing at several points during the show and productive conversations were plenty. Reconnecting again in-person with our retail partners, ambassadors, industry colleagues and outdoor community was super rejuvenating. For these reasons, Outdoor Retailer remains very worth it for Sawyer to attend.” — Travis Avery, Sawyer vice president of marketing
