Turnkey Exhibit Rentals For Outdoor Gear, Apparel, and Equipment
August 19-21, 2026 | Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN
Outdoor Retailer 2026 is a flagship event for the outdoor brands and retailers Outdoor Retailer 2026 brings together specialty retailers, distributors, and buyers to decide what goes on their shelves next season. To earn that decision, your booth needs to show the product, tell the brand story, and give buyers a reason to stay long enough. That’s what we build at Exponents — exhibits that reflect how outdoor brands connect with buyers. Here’s what we can incorporate into your Outdoor Retailer booth rental:
- Product Showcase Zones: Dedicated spaces to highlight your latest gear, apparel, and sustainable solutions. Hands-on displays and product demo areas are designed to let buyers experience your products the way you intended.
- Lead Generation Setups: Strategic touchpoint areas with digital forms, QR integrations, and demo stations to capture and qualify leads while the conversation is still warm.
- Networking Areas: Comfortable, open seating gives buyers a place to sit and have meaningful conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a custom booth display, a 10–14 week timeline is ideal for Outdoor Retailer. Most experienced exhibitors begin planning 3–6 months in advance—especially for larger booth sizes or events with tight move-in schedules. Faster timelines can be accommodated depending on the design complexity, location, and level of customization required.
Rental doesn’t mean off-the-shelf. Our system is built on modular frameworks that allow for fully customized graphics, counter designs, storage solutions, lighting, and AV integration. We can even combine elements from different layouts to create hybrid designs tailored to your specific vision.
Minnesota is not a right-to-work state. Hence, Minneapolis trade shows follow specific union labor regulations that determine who can perform certain tasks on-site. Our team handles all union labor coordination directly, including scheduling, supervision, and compliance with venue-specific requirements. You don’t need to navigate Minneapolis jurisdiction rules — we manage the entire process for you.
We accept print-ready files in AI, EPS, PDF, and high-resolution TIFF formats. Our team provides templates with precise dimensions for your booth size to ensure accurate production without scaling issues. If any files are not print-ready, we’ll identify and flag them early to help prevent production delays or quality problems.
Outdoor Retailer attracts specialty retailers much like CONEXPO and the Great American Outdoor Show. Exhibitors who participate in all three benefit from repeated exposure to the same buyer audience, strengthening brand recall throughout the year.
