On 12 and 13 May 2027, the Outdoor Impact Summit returns to the Riva del Garda Congress Centre. The event brings together the outdoor industry to focus on sustainability, responsible innovation, and environmental and social impact within the outdoor industry.

The Outdoor Impact Summit will return to Riva del Garda on 12 and 13 May 2027 for its third edition. Following the success of the latest edition, the Summit confirms its place within European Outdoor Week, at the Riva del Garda Congress Centre, as a key meeting point for the European outdoor industry.

Organised by the European Outdoor Group and MagNet Srl SB, the Outdoor Impact Summit was created as a platform for dialogue, bringing together companies, professionals and international experts to share ideas, experiences and practical tools. The aim is to bring together more than 250 industry professionals and leaders, to drive measurable change for people, businesses and the planet.

Registration opens on October 15, but you can already pre-register by filling in the form HERE.

As soon as registration officially opens, participants will be able to complete the purchase of their ticket (the price will be announced at a later date).

It’s time to act. "Action" is the key word.

The journey started during the previous editions will continue to evolve in 2027 around the concept of Impact, understood in its broadest sense. Not only environmental impact, but also the impact that business has on people, health, society, communities and the places in which it operates.This vision highlights the need to move increasingly from discussion to concrete action. The goal will be to further strengthen the Summit’s role as a place where the industry does not simply discuss the major transformations under way, but explores practical ways to address them. "Action" will therefore be the key word at the heart of this year's summit, creating an even stronger connection between vision, knowledge and practical application.

This direction is fully aligned with the event format, designed to combine keynotes and plenary sessions, panels with industry leaders and experts, interactive workshops and case studies, alongside informal discussions and networking opportunities.

Two days of plenary sessions, workshops and networking

The Outdoor Impact Summit 2027 will be built around two complementary dimensions: opportunities for in-depth discussion and learning, and dedicated networking moments.

The organisers are developing a programme designed to engage professionals across different roles and areas of responsibility within companies, combining plenary sessions, workshops and dedicated discussions on the main challenges currently facing the outdoor industry. At the same time experts are being selected to guide the debate, bring together different perspectives and ensure that every session is practical and relevant for participants.

Networking was one of the most appreciated aspects of the last edition and will play an even more prominent role in 2027. For this reason, there will be more opportunities to bring together professionals from different business functions, allowing them to continue the conversations started during the Summit outside the conference rooms, in a more informal setting designed to encourage connections and dialogue.
