There may be a ‘Polar Vortex’ going on across much of the Midwestern United States at the moment, but in Denver, Colorado, attendees of Outdoor Retailer’s Snow Show are comfortable and warm inside the Colorado Convention Center.

The show began Wednesday, Jan. 30 and concludes on Friday, Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. It is the first of three shows organized by Outdoor Retailer this year.

Of course there is brand new merchandise on display across the show, but that is not the only reason why the conference exists. Panels on a number of important issues related to nature are being held over the course of the three-day expo.

Educational sessions range from practical retail business advice to how to engage further in protecting natural environments and habitats.

HOW SUSTAINABILITY STOLE THE SHOW AT OUTDOOR RETAILER WINTER MARKET

Outdoor Retailer Vice President and Show Director Marisa Nicholson expressed enthusiasm regarding the show’s projected attendance numbers and exciting new exhibits at this year’s Winter Market Show.

“Outdoor Retailer Winter Market is the third of three shows this year in Denver, and it wraps up a very successful first year in the city. Right now, as this show is about to begin, the ratio of retailers to brands attending is approximately 10 to one and stores are bringing, on average, five buyers per store,” Nicholson said before the show.

The outdoor retail market is an $887+ billion industry according to the conference and event organizers added new elements to this year’s show to increase exposure.

“Don’t do as I do, run with someone else… bring mace… have fluids… Bring a small first aid kit… don’tbe a jerk, don’t go alone… feel empowered and not scared… and bring a four legged friend” #ORShow #WeAreOutdoors #OutdoorRetailer #WomenEmpowerment #womenoutdoors pic.twitter.com/Otdyww5E4B

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

Bose Professional launched the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular speaker whose 3.5 kg boxes are angled to keep sound off echoey ceilings. Coverage control moves into the integrator's design. Splay angles, amplifier choice and a recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter decide results in houses of worship, classrooms and corporate rooms.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA's Meeting Room as a Service brings room design, procurement, monitoring, support, refresh and recycling together under one model. Its Aon project in Brazil tripled videoconferencing capacity and lifted client meetings 50% over two years.

  • 01When a room fails, people tend to move rather than report it, so service desk tickets often miss the rooms that are actually broken. Centralized monitoring targets that gap.
  • 02Aon’s Brazil project tripled videoconferencing capacity and raised client meetings 50% over two years. It’s a vendor-reported reference point buyers can use when asking providers for comparable results.
  • 03The case for one lifecycle contract is strongest where each country picked its own vendors and integrators. A company that only needs utilization data can buy room analytics software without handing over the whole lifecycle.

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA named Marco Pardi, President of the Tech Events portfolio at Informa, as CEO starting January 1, 2027. He succeeds David Labuskes. Pardi's background running IT shows suggests AV's overlap with IT will keep getting attention, though AVIXA has not committed to that. Watch AVIXA's 2027 show calendar and course catalog.

  • 01AVIXA's events and learning audiences overlap with incoming CEO Marco Pardi's experience; audience counts alone do not explain the board's priorities.
  • 02One read on the hire is whether IT-crossover training like Glass to Glass expands under Pardi.
