Denver-based Media Show Sees Increased Media Attendance, More Outdoor Brands

March 6, 2023 – DENVER, CO /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – The Outdoor Market Alliance (OMA), the emerging outdoor industry hub in the Denver metro area, recently hosted its second Denver Media Show on February 22nd-23rd. Following a successful inaugural media show in September of 2022, this seasonal media preview saw a significant increase in attending editors and journalists interested in new product and gear stories from 45 outdoor and active lifestyle brands.

In an event that Elevation Outdoors magazine called “Worth the Hype”, over 60 media gathered at the OMA headquarters in Lakewood, Colorado. The Denver Media Show has already nearly doubled in the number of attending media and participating brands since September.

“This media show and our retailer market weeks have officially shifted from proven concept to growing success,” said Axel Geittman, president and founding board member of OMA. “Our vision to make this space truly collaborative and beneficial to the vitality of the outdoor market is being realized in just a short time, and the excitement and engagement we’re seeing from our industry is pretty amazing and leading us toward some key partnerships for growth.”

A collective of 25 independent sales and marketing agencies representing over 175 outdoor and active lifestyle brands, the OMA has emerged as a collaborative epicenter amongst outdoor industry brands, sales agencies, and now, media. It’s also a year-round destination for outdoor specialty retailers and their buyers who can now visit and do business with nearly 200 brands in one convenient and permanent location. The OMA has hosted two successful market weeks for its respective retailers, who can visit their brands and sales representatives any day of the year. Its next retailer market week is slated for June 5th-9th, 2023. Retailers and their buyers can learn more here.

The next OMA media show, previewing Spring 2024 outdoor gear, is slated for July 26-27, 2023.
