The '''Internationale Fachmesse für Sportartikel und Sportmode''', more commonly referred to as '''ISPO''', is the world's largest [[trade fair]] for [[Sports equipment|sporting goods]] and [[sportswear (activewear)|sportswear]].
== Description ==
Since its inception in 1970, the ISPO takes place once a year (end of January or early February) at [[Neue Messe München]] where the following categories are being displayed: [[Outdoor recreation|Outdoor]], [[Skiing]], Boarding, [[Running]], [[Physical fitness|Fitness]], Sportswear, Beachwear, Teamsports, [[Association football|Soccer]], Nordic Sports, [[Biking]], Racket, [[Triathlon]], and Kids. <br />
ISPO Munich is part of the ISPO Family which also includes other [[trade fair]]s such as ISPO BIKE (previously Bike EXPO), ISPO BEIJING and the service providers ISPO JOBS and ISPO CONNECT.
Each year, the ISPO awards the '''ISPO BrandNew''' to Start-Up companies in the sport industry that present especially innovative business models or products. The ISPO has an '''ISPO Award''', which is awarded to particularly innovative, creative, high-performing or ecological products and is voted by an independent jury who convene before the show takes place.
ISPO hosts the annual ISPO Night Run in the Olympiapark, Munich's largest running event at night.<ref>https://www.ispo.com/events/ispo-munich-nightrun</ref>
