Just a few days left before the IWA Outdoor Classics 2018 in Germany starts. We have been busy as hell finalizing the details for the Airsoft Meetup 2018 that will take place on Sunday, the 11th of March 2018 at 14:00 to ensure that it is pulled off without any hitches. Thank god, we completed the list of speakers in time. Check the final schedule here... 

Some are already mainstays at the Airsoft Meetup such as RedWolf Airsoft, Gunfire, and Airsoft Innovations. Valken Tactical and Classic Army’s distributor in Europe, DM Diffusion are coming back in 2018 to give their talk. For the first time G&G Armament will be speaking at the Airsoft Meetup with Charlie Suarez, G&G’s Marketing Manager, talking about the G&G CQB World Cup Competition 2019.

For the first time too at the Airsoft Meetup will be a panel discussion on the trends and hot topics in Airsoft. This is a try-out with Kelly Louise Hardwick (Femme Fatale Airsoft), Bill Pryce-Thomas (Airsoft Action), Michael Belousov (Border War), and Jonathan Higgs (Airsoftology) will be in this panel and if you have questions to throw at them, better be at the Airsoft Meetup!

To top off the Airsoft Meetup will be the awarding ceremonies of the 8th Players’ Choice Awards and Owen "Master Chief" Lagman will once again take charge of handing off the awards to the winners.

Ladies and gentleman, the Hong Kong room has been booked. So we have a go for the 7th edition of the Airsoft Meetup during the IWA Outdoor Classics 2018 in Nuremberg Germany. Thus, for all those in the airsoft industry and related industries, they can now start making plans of including the Airsoft Meetup in their IWA 2018 Calendar. As allways, Sunday afternoon 13:00 sharp (March 11th)!

The Airsoft Meetup is an annual event for the Airsoft Media, Airsoft Community, and Airsoft Industry to listen to what the industry has to offer for year. In one room, we get to watch presentations of the various speakers from different companies and even airsoft organisations to what everybody in airsoft can expect for the year. There is no other event in the world wherein the airsoft industry can meet with a greater number of airsoft media representatives in one event and make their case.

Call for speakers
Now that it has been confirmed, we are opening the doors to interested speakers. If your company has something very interesting to show us and you might not be able to present everything properly at your display booths during the IWA Outdoor Classics 2018, then the Airsoft Meetup is the best place for you to say what you want to say. You can make presentations without being disturbed by curious trade visitors and all recorded to be put on YouTube via the Popular Airsoft YouTube Channel and other media present.
