three pavilions
Less than a week to EOS - European Outdoor ShowThe stands are being set up in the three pavilions of Parma's modern exhibition center. Anticipation is growing, and there's great anticipation to kick off the event, which showcases the country's sectors capable of generating significant value for the community. The hunting sector alone, for example, according to a 2023 Nomisma study, generates approximately €8,5 billion annually. The shooting sector is made up of a few globally leading manufacturers and a largely exported organizational system. The outdoor sector, for its part, according to the Banca Ifis Observatory, generated a turnover of €11,9 billion in 2023 and is aiming for €20 billion in the coming years. All these sectors are in good health, and have long been committed to strengthening their roles in a more ethical and sustainable way. 
Exhibitors and brands
The EOS show organizers have worked tirelessly to create the best possible showcase, leveraging Fiere di Parma's experience in the outdoor sector and four editions of the EOS show, which have seen steady growth. There are over 300 exhibitors representing over 700 brands. Fishing is not included, as the end of March is not the ideal time for exhibitors and visitors, but the potential gap has already been filled with around seventy new exhibitors who have expressly requested to participate. Over the past month, exhibitors, hunting and trade associations, sports federations, testimonials, and ambassadors have all gathered in Parma from March 28th to 30th. The fan community will be there soon.
Lots of appointments
Not just traditional exhibitions, but also increasingly interactive events at EOS Show 2026, featuring over 30 cultural events, workshops, cooking demonstrations, and game tastings in the Wild Taste Area and the Fondazione UNA Village, both in Hall 5. Parma's ALMA - International School of Italian Cuisine will be very active, along with starred chefs such as Matteo Vergine of Grow restaurant and Fabio Giacopelli. Fiere di Parma will also be contributing, relying on the expertise of Cibus, the leading trade fair dedicated to Italian agri-food, which it has organized since 1985.
