On 12 and 13 May 2027, the Outdoor Impact Summit returns to the Riva del Garda Congress Centre (Italy). The event brings together the entire outdoor industry to focus on sustainability, responsible innovation, and the environmental and social impact of the outdoor sector.
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 previous event, the Summit confirms its place within European Outdoor Week at the Riva del Garda Congress Centre, serving as a meeting point for the European outdoor industry.
Organised by the European Outdoor Group and MagNet Srl SB, the Outdoor Impact Summit was established as a platform for companies, professionals and international experts to exchange ideas, experiences and practical tools. Its aim is to bring together more than 250 industry professionals and leaders who will drive measurable change for people, businesses and the planet.
Registration opens on 15 October, but it is already possible to pre-register by completing the form below.
Once registration officially opens, participants will be able to complete their ticket purchase (pricing will be announced at a later date).
The Time to Act Is Now. “Action” Is the Key Word
The journey begun at previous editions will continue to evolve in 2027 around the concept of Impact, understood in its broadest sense. This means looking beyond environmental impact to consider the effects businesses have on people, health, society, local communities and the places where they operate.
This vision highlights the need to translate commitments into increasingly concrete action. The aim is to further strengthen the Summit’s role as a forum where the industry does not simply discuss the major transformations underway, but also explores practical ways to address them. “Action” will therefore be the key word at the heart of this year’s Summit, bringing vision, knowledge and practical application into even closer alignment.
This approach is consistent with the event’s format, which combines keynote speeches and plenary sessions, panels featuring industry leaders and experts, interactive workshops and case studies, alongside opportunities for informal discussion and networking.
Two Days of Plenary Sessions, Workshops and Networking
The Outdoor Impact Summit 2027 will revolve around two complementary pillars: in-depth discussions and learning opportunities, and networking.
The organisers are developing a programme designed to engage participants across a range of corporate roles and responsibilities, combining plenary sessions, workshops and discussions addressing the key challenges currently facing the outdoor industry. At the same time, they are selecting experts who can guide the debate, bring different perspectives into dialogue and ensure that each session is practical and relevant to participants.
Networking was one of the most highly appreciated aspects of the previous edition and will play an even more prominent role in 2027. For this reason, more opportunities will be created to bring together professionals from different business functions, allowing them to continue discussing the topics explored during the Summit beyond the conference rooms, in a more informal setting that encourages open dialogue and meaningful connections.
