The PADDLE Expo from 28-30 September this year, is a trade-only fair. No consumer entry is allowed so what's in for you as a paddler?  

Begun in 2003, PADDLEexpo (www.paddleexpo.com) is now the leading paddlesports-exclusive trade fair globally where all the newest products and trends are found, from kayaks and canoes, stand-up paddle and inflatables, to apparel and accessories. The fair is not only an international marketplace, but has also become a global meetup and networking event for buyers, manufacturers, importers, retailers, media and associations.

So if you will buy a new jacket, paddle, kayak, board and so on, most probably your equipment and gear has been showcased to your local paddlesport shop or importer in Nuremberg, Germany this month.

So who of the brands will be there? Take a look at this list with a few hundred (!!) manufacturers and distributors.
