Let the curtain rise for the IWA OutdoorClassics 2023

It's that time again: The IWA OutdoorClassics 2023, which will take place from March 2-5 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center, is approaching. The world's leading trade fair for hunting and shooting sports, outdoor equipment, and security can look forward to the participation of renowned manufacturers and a large number of international new exhibitors. New special areas in the fields of airsoft, knives, and optics also complement the program of the IWA OutdoorClassics 2023 and provide new highlights in the halls. "The IWA OutdoorClassics will once again be the industry meeting point for decision-makers and multipliers next year, creating space for networks, products, and opinion formation," emphasizes Thomas Preutenborbeck, a member of the NürnbergMesse management. Tickets for visitors are already available.

IWA OutdoorClassics 2023: Current exhibitor numbers

In its role as the world's leading trade fair, the IWA OutdoorClassics enjoys the participation of numerous companies from around the world every year. At the current time, a total of 834 exhibitors (as of November 15, 2022) from 48 countries have already confirmed their participation in the IWA OutdoorClassics 2023. Nearly 30 percent of these exhibitors will be exhibiting at the IWA OutdoorClassics for the first time. In addition to new faces, visitors can also look forward to some returning companies whose participation in the IWA OutdoorClassics in 2022 was absent, partly due to the pandemic. Manufacturers such as Leica, Merkel Jagd- und Sportwaffen GmbH, and C.G. Haenel GmbH are convinced returnees to the IWA OutdoorClassics. "After a short break, we are all the more looking forward to the IWA OutdoorClassics in March. The pandemic has shown that we need the exchange with industry professionals more than ever and want to participate in the industry's common discourse. The IWA offers the best conditions for this," comments Olaf Sauer, managing director of Merkel Sportwaffen GmbH and C.G. Haenel GmbH, on the return.

New action areas for the Airsoft, Knife, and Optic segments

Visitors to the upcoming IWA OutdoorClassics can look forward to innovations in some areas. Particularly striking are the new special areas created for the Optics, Airsoft, and Cutlery segments. The areas give visitors the opportunity to get to know exhibited products even more intensively and engage in a deeper conversation with the exhibitor. Each area caters to the specifications of the respective target group, taking the experience for industry professionals to a new level. The OPTICS Testing Area impresses with a darkroom, the AIRSOFT Shooting Range with its own shooting ranges, and the BLADE Demo Area with an appealing stage concept. All information about the special show areas and participation opportunities for exhibitors will soon be available at: www.iwa.info

Industry meeting point for decision-makers and multipliers

Next year, the IWA OutdoorClassics will once again welcome the most important multipliers from national and international associations and organizations to Nuremberg, in addition to exhibitors, visitors, and media representatives. "Next year, the IWA OutdoorClassics will once again be the industry meeting point for decision-makers and multipliers, creating space for networks, products, and opinion formation," emphasizes Thomas Preutenborbeck, a member of the NürnbergMesse management. "In addition to our long-standing supporters, we are looking forward to an increased collaboration this year with the World Forum of Shooting Activities (WFSA) as well as with European industry associations, the Institut Européen des Armes de Chasse et de Sport (IEACS), and the Association of European Manufacturers of Sporting Ammunition (AFEMS), who will present internationally relevant discussion contributions at the IWA OutdoorClassics 2023," Preutenborbeck continues.
