Dual Leadership Model for IWA OutdoorClassics as Luisa Seibt Becomes New Marketing Director

Monday, June 15th, 2020

Luisa Seibt (30) was appointed marketing director of the IWA
OutdoorClassics trade fair on 1 March 2020. She will work in tandem with Rebecca Schönfelder, the event’s exhibition director, to provide the leading international trade fair for the sector with an experienced pair of leaders at the helm.

In recent years Luisa Seibt worked for one of the event’s major exhibitors in the field of digital marketing for hunting and sports. Through her involvement in joint projects relating to the IWA OutdoorClassics, she gained experience of working with the exhibition team and her expertise in social media and blogger relations was much sought after. This means that Seibt is not just familiar with the thematic areas of the IWA OutdoorClassics as a former exhibitor but already knows a good bit about the developments and work flows of the trade fair as such.

“Due to the corona situation I am starting the job at a time of unprecedented challenges, not just for us as an exhibition company but also for the entire sector. However, it is a situation that also offers opportunities,” says Seibt with conviction. “As the marketing team, we will have the support of a strong and well networked partner in the shape of the IWA OutdoorClassics exhibition team. The two teams will work together to identify potentials, above all in the area of digital transformation, and ensure that the IWA OutdoorClassics continues to be the leading fair for the industry,” Seibt adds.

Schönfelder is also looking to the future. “We have high hopes of the 2021 event. Our optimism is reinforced by the number of exhibitor registrations received for the IWA OutdoorClassics 2021 in just a short time. Luisa Seibt is a stroke of luck for us: She’s a marketing expert with insider knowledge of the sector and a passion for hunting, and a young person with an agile mindset who embraces challenges, so I am very much looking forward to working closely with her,” says Schönfelder.

The next IWA OutdoorClassics will take place from 12 to 15 March
2021.

NürnbergMesse Plans Closer Links Between “Unmanned Technologies” Segment and Other Trade Fairs Beginning in 2021

Thursday, June 11th, 2020

Closer links between trade fairs in the security segment in future

NürnbergMesse plans to establish closer links between its “unmanned technologies” segment and other trade fairs as of 2021. Instead of being exclusive to Enforce Tac, as it has been until now, U.T.SEC will in future also be able to present itself as a corresponding platform at other relevant events. This will give the highly topical drone technology segment a greater reach.

Since 2018, U.T.SEC has been taking place concurrently with Enforce Tac. Increasingly, its focus has been on the use and neutralisation of drones by official security agencies and organisations.

Drone technology becoming a megatrend

In recent years, drone technology has become an important cutting-edge issue not just for users in the sensitive security segment but also for other target groups. This is why the event is evolving, as it moves away from its origins as a summit to become an integral part of Enforce Tac. In future, it will also showcase the diverse applications for drone technology to a greater extent at other NürnbergMesse Group events, for example at Perimeter Protection, the trade fair for the monitoring and protection of industrial and commercial outdoor sites and facilities, critical infrastructure and major events.

This will allow manufacturers to reach a larger and more diverse range of target groups and offer them more opportunities to present their technologies. In the process we will also be offering potential users more targeted insights into the uses of unmanned technologies.

Infuze Hydration Announces New Website

Thursday, June 11th, 2020

Leading provider of innovative hydration solutions, Infuze Hydration, launches a new website as part of the company’s rebranding process

Infuze Hydration recently started a rebranding process that includes the adoption of a new name – Infuzeyourlife. In a similar vein, the company has announced the launch of a new user-friendly website designed to make its solutions even more accessible to customers across the globe. Described as “a hydration revolution,” Infuzeyourlife offers amazing solutions that allow users to infuse their water bottles and hydration packs in a matter of seconds.

One of the major challenges faced by millions of people, particularly fitness enthusiasts and athletes is staying hydrated as they carry out their activities. While water remains the best form of liquid for rehydrating the body, it often does not contain the necessary nutrients and electrolytes to instantly energize the body. Consequently, people sometimes have to settle for sugary drinks that are detrimental to the body. Infuzeyourlife, however, was able to change this narrative by creating a system that provides optimal rehydration by ensuring users have water or mix delicious flavor, electrolytes, vitamins, energy, at their desired taste literally on-demand, without any cleanup.

Since the official launch of the product in 2019, the brand has grown in leaps and bounds thanks to the revolutionary solution offered to combat dehydration, helping people to take their life, passions, talents, and performance to the next level.
