Outdoor Retailer Launches Media Preview at Winter Market 2015

Attending journalist to get sneak peek at innovative new product and gear

San Juan Capistrano, CA, December 1, 2014—As the outdoor industry convenes to meet face-to-face to plan for the year ahead, Outdoor Retailer Winter Market is pleased to announce the launch of an all new Media Preview event. Journalists attending the show will have exclusive access to preview some of the latest products and new exhibitors in the outdoor industry.

The Media Preview will be held the day before the show opens—from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Meeting Room 250. The Media Preview will feature as many as 30 companies, each with a table top display to present their new products to the industry.

In addition to the product preview, Outdoor Retailer has partnered with the Outdoor Industry Association to provide market data and outdoor consumer insights to journalists in attendance. This information will highlight retail sales, participation metrics and outdoor trends which will provide foundational content for attending journalists.

 “This event will give brands a unique platform to meet one-on-one with the media prior to show opening,” said Kate Lowery, Director of PR and Communications for Outdoor Retailer. “Journalists in attendance will not only get early access to the innovative new gear, products and brands, but they will also gain greater insight into industry and consumer trends provided by our association partner, OIA.”   Journalists will be able to meet with the participating brands at their convenience during the two-hour event. Beverages and light snacks will be served, as well. Free shuttles will be provided for those journalist arriving from the All Mountain Demo.  Media interested in attending should RSVP by January 5, 2015 to Kate Lowery, Director of Public Relations and Communications,
