festivals and fairs, more open to the public, with more participation and with a stronger connection between brand/exhibitor/visitor. In general, brands are very happy with the format, the organisation and the participation and dissemination of the event. More and more brands are present at Sea Otter Europe, others are expanding their exhibition space, taking advantage of the festival to make global presentations of new products. The fact that the parent companies of the brands are present, and not only the distributors, indicates the value they place on the event on an international level. The loyalty and growth we see year on year is our best indication of the brands’ satisfaction with Sea Otter Europe.
What are your plans for 2023 and beyond? For this 2023 edition, we continue to consolidate and grow in terms of space and activities for Sea Otter Europe. Additionally, one of the major novelties for 2023 is the independent consolidation of the Euro Mobility Festival in its second edition. The great festival of urban sustainable mobility, which for the first time will have its own identity and character, its own space, specific urban test, other test circuits and specific access to the Euro Mobility Festival space. It will continue to share a space and dates with Sea Otter Europe, but now as a completely separate festival that is set to grow in the coming years, as it is a mobility segment with great potential and totally complementary to cycling itself.
