Details have been unveiled of the full programme for the 2026 Outdoor Impact Summit.

The core theme of the summit will be ‘No Excuses’, and content throughout the event will focus ondirect, impactful actions that organisations can take to redefine the boundaries of responsibility in the outdoor sector. Organised by the European Outdoor Group in collaboration with the MagNet publishing group and Green Media Lab SRL SB, the event will take place from 14-15 May 2026, at the Riva del Garda Conference Centre, as part of European Outdoor Week.

Launched in 2025, the Outdoor Impact Summit (OIS) is a platform that brings together the entire outdoor supply chain and a wider community of professionals, and is dedicated to sustainability, responsible innovation, and social impact. The event is aimed at company executives and environmental, social and governance (ESG) professionals. Following the success of the first summit, the 2026 edition will take a deeper dive into exploring what ‘impact’ truly means for the outdoor industry. Over two days, keynote speakers, case studies and workshops will provide delegates with tangible and practical actions to take back and implement within their own organisations. Alongside this, a central topic of OIS will be the importance of responsible and transparent communications about sustainability.

EOG Managing Director Christian Schneidermeier comments:

“Last year’s Outdoor Impact Summit set a high benchmark, delivering real and substantive actions that delegates could take away and implement. But the sustainability challenge is huge and it is more urgent than ever – that’s why there are no excuses. Collectively, we must do much more and we need to be certain that we make genuine, positive impacts. I urge colleagues to join us at the summit, where together we will identify practical solutions that can be applied across the entire value chain.”
