APSA Members visit ISPO 2010
The Association for Professional Sales Agents (Sports and Leisure Industries) is organising a trip for its members to attend the ISPO show in Munich from the 7th -10th February 2010.
The Association of Professional Sales Agents (APSA) represents sales agents operating in the sports and outdoor sectors and runs under the umbrella of the Federation of Sports and Play Associations (FSPA). APSA agents are experienced and knowledgeable in the trade and all sign up to the APSA Code of Conduct.
For reputable agents, the ISPO show not only a chance to visit the biggest sports trade show in Europe but also presents the opportunity to meet and network with oversea’s brands perhaps seeking a UK presence. This provides agents who want to go down this route with more control over the brands activities and sales channels and potentially a better income stream in the long term.
The International Trade Fair For Sports Equipment and Fashion will this year be held at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. ISPO 2010 will be made up of 6 sub shows including Ski, Outdoor, Performance, Board, Sourcing and Style and will run from the 7th- 10th February. The Federation of Sports and Play Associations will be taking out a UK group of exhibitors to the show supported by UKTI funding and the UK pavilion is to be located in B4 Performance hall. On Monday 8th February the UK Pavilion will be hosting a drinks reception for agents, UK companies and any associated guests which will be an excellent networking opportunity. In addition the FSPA will support its members in maximizing the benefit of attending the show.
