“We couldn’t be more excited about the community we’re creating and the vision we have for Outdoor Market Alliance” said Keith Reis, founding board member of OMA. “We realized that an outdoor industry hub for our customers, combined with a mission that supports our communities and values was a shared vision for what’s next in our markets. Beyond sharing space, we’re sharing resources, knowledge, best practices and access to B2B partners that support our retail partner relationships and elevate our businesses as a whole.”

Summer Market Week will also feature B2B education and training onsite provided by Elastic and NuORDER e-commerce and digital merchandising solutions, and data, industry expertise, and prescriptive analytics from NPD Group. The community cause partner for Summer Market Week will highlight Big City Mountaineers, with OMA hosting their booth space and promoting the organization among their retailer network.

“OMA isn’t just a bunch of reps sharing rent. We knew we wanted to create a new and compelling format and vision for the future of outdoor retail,” added Reis. “We are thrilled to be hosting our first Summer Market Week next week and bringing the outdoor community together at our new showroom location. This is just the beginning of our journey. Every one of us got our start somewhere, and this is now a place where others can do the same.”
