We just received the news that the PADDLEexpo will continue under the name PADDLE BOARD EXPO in Kassel and no longer in Nuremberg.
Apparently the original organizer Horst FĂĽhrsattel retired. Therefore I would like to thank him for the 10 years of cooperation and wish him all the best. This is the message on the website:
Canoe fair, SUP-Expo and PADDLEexpo
2003 – 2019
The PADDLEexpo series is over, the 2019 event was the last PADDLEexpo.There are no plans and no date for another PADDLEexpo
Now we continue with the PBX – PADDLE BOARD EXPO and this is the PR message we received:
(Translated from the original in German)
“
Dear Sir or Madam,
we will hold the PADDLE-BOARD-EXPO trade visitor fair in Kassel from 23.09. -25.09.2021, as a continuation of the PADDLEEXPO
The PADDLE-BOARD-EXPO will be the leading trade fair for the paddle & SUP sport.
The latest products around kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddling, foil boards & boats, folding and inflatable boats, paddle clothing, accessories and equipment will be presented.
As the engine of the industry, the fair is a global marketplace and at the same time an international meeting place for the industry and the scene.
It also functions as a central information and contact point for the rental business, event and incentive travel and water sports tourism.
The venue is the Kassel Exhibition Center in the center of Germany.
We are expecting more than 150 exhibitors from all over the world, including all well-known brands from the canoe and SUP scene.
Additionally, various workshops & lectures will be offered during the fair.
There will be lectures and discussions about useful topics such as marketing, insurance, digitalization, environment, sales, etc. by experts from the respective industry.
We would like to involve you as a strong media partner in print & online magazines of the Kanu & Sup scene.
This cooperation can be successfully implemented as media partner & advertising partner as well as exhibitor at the fair itself.
If you are interested, please contact us and send us in advance your media data and conditions for advertisements in your magazines.
With kind regards
“
The man behind the new fair is Stefan Bretthauer and we will publish an interview with him shortly. Then we will also find out how the canoe industry has reacted to the new name.
