Aug 5, 2009
A company’s booth reflects its personality and its core values, while also serving the needs of its customers. Just as important as the showcase for new gear and product, a trade show also shows off the efforts of many exhibitors to upgrade, redesign and otherwise rethink their booth footprints, constructions and presentations. We at SNEWS® like to acknowledge those efforts. We are proud to present the winners of the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2009 SNEWS Best of Booths (BOB) Awards, in recognition of the most successful of these endeavors.

Feb 5, 2007
If there was one word to sum up the trend of Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2007's booth designs, it was SUSTAINABILITY. There is no question that being green is both cool and the right thing to do, and that movement seemed to stimulate the addition of a bevy of new booths at the show. Never before has the SNEWS® crew seen so many companies utilizing green booth materials. While all the new booths were a welcome surprise, it made it more difficult than ever to come up with the latest round of coveted SNEWS® BOB Awards.

Aug 24, 2005
Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2005 was a bountiful buffet of beautiful new booths, making judging and awarding the SNEWS® BOB Awards the most fun it has ever been. Overall, booths seemed more sophisticated in design incorporating textures like the corrugated metal and grass cloth used by Prana and the rubber floor tiles in the Indigo booth. Natural fibers and materials like the Teva wood chips at the booth entrance and Jansport's bamboo walls harkened the return to green so prevalent at the show. So many booths incorporated creativity, fun, design excellence, hard work and serious thought. Here are the ones the SNEWS® crew judged the Best of Booths (BOB).
