All finalists can be viewed in the online Innovation Gallery through the duration of Outdoor Retailer Winter Online, which runs until March 19, 2021. The Winter Online digital marketplace and experience connects the outdoor and winter sports industries this winter as the place to discover new brands and products, learn from experts, and network with the community. Access to education, events, and networking is free with registration.

Brands interested in exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities with Winter Online, future Outdoor Retailer trade shows, or Outdoor Retailer publications can contact their Account Executive.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, Outdoor Retailer Winter Online replaces the in-person show and brings the winter sports and outdoor communities together this season. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the digital marketplace infers a user’s likes and dislikes, suggest matches, and creates a uniquely tailored experience for each user to find products, brands, retailers, and education best suited to their needs. Winter Online also features streamlined communication between brands, buyers, and media, including live video conferencing and live one-on-one chats; data-driven lead generation in real time; personalized dashboards and networking opportunities; and a comprehensive schedule of education.
