Outdoor Retailer - March 2021 - 6

FIRST WORDS

See You in August
will be opportunities to learn and discover what's
new. Webinar-style education, developed in
partnership with Outdoor Industry Association
(OIA), will begin prior to the Show and be accessible from wherever you are. New digital opportunities via Elastic Suite will allow you to connect with brands and find new products for your
store. Stay tuned for details.
During this past year, we've all changed-how
we live, the way we work, where we spend our
time. One of the highlights has been the dramatic boom in outdoor participation. We are now
in position to truly embrace the new consumers
and welcome all into our incredible community.
We do that successfully as a united industry and
through the relationships we build when we're
together.
These days are shaping our future, and we're
here to help you grow and move forward. We
look forward to seeing you in August.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS. THIS SUMMER'S
Outdoor Retailer show is shifting to Aug. 10-12
and we'll be back at the Colorado Convention
Center in Denver.
We moved the show from June to August to
allow more time to facilitate a safe and successful in-person event, to give exhibitors and attendees more days to plan participation, and to
provide greater peace of mind with the opportunity to gather and do business together.
The health, safety, and well-being of our
community remains our primary focus. We're
already working closely with Visit Denver, the
Colorado Convention Center, and hotel partners to implement the highest safety protocols
and measures recommended by health officials
and government agencies, and we're available
to address any of your questions or concerns.
We've heard from many who are eager to reunite and ready to get back to productive business at the in-person show. We're anxious to see
you too! When we reconvene in August, expect
to see extra safety standards in place (read our
current guidelines here), and we will adapt to
be consistent with the latest protocols.
If you are unable to attend in person, there
