Embrace Change

Join the digital surface finishing trade show for the bike and sports industry

The world has changed. Remote work is now the norm and our new reality demands more creativity, flexibility, and vision. 

In these times of change, the sppot is offering a safe environment to interact and continue doing business. The traditional shows and fairs, although providing high precaution measures, bear a high risk of cancellations and other safety implications for all participants. This is why we decided to embrace these uncertain times and to go virtual! 

Responding to the needs of the growing bicycle market, the sppot wants to leverage the technological possibilities of our modern era and to host a virtual surface finishing trade show.

The event will be held in three days each filled with exciting online discussions, presentations and demonstrations. Join us to discover the latest product developments and innovations from the sppot and its partners. 

Take the opportunity to have your personal meeting with a member of the sppot team online. All meetings will take place @ ZOOM.
