“
I was extremely impressed with The National Outdoor Expo 2025. The event build was incredibly well organised and efficient, with everything we had pre-booked ready and waiting on our stand upon arrival. The presence of both Racoon and NEC staff was noticeable and welcoming throughout and the show ran smoothly and on schedule. As a company that primarily operates B2B with our B2C offering purely online, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet consumers in person, engage with them about our brands, and gather valuable feedback. We also made significant sales, which helped offset some of the costs of attending! The show truly captured the strong sense of community that defines the outdoor industry, and we felt that energy from start to finish. We have already reserved our stand for 2026 and are excited for an even bigger and better show next year.
