Event Details

OutdoorXpo will take place on 20-21 March 2027 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. This year’s event promises to draw a highly engaged audience of outdoor enthusiasts who are eager to connect with brands shaping the future of the industry. Attendees will include individuals who invest in premium outdoor gear and actively follow elite athletes.

Exciting Speakers

This year’s event will feature renowned speakers such as Jimmy Chin and Jim Morrison.
