What is The Pill Base Camp?
The The Pill Base Camp is an EXPO where the most important brands in the running and outdoor world, carefully selected by The Pill, present and offer the chance to test the new products for the next season. Presentations, antecedents, experiences, product tests, clinics and workshops but not only that, also relaxing moments over a beer where you can share your passion for running and outdoor.
In the winter editions of Sestriere and Folgaria the focus is Skiing, Snowboarding and all the equipment that goes with it such as clothing, backpacks, safety systems and equipment. For the Summer edition in Milan, on the other hand, focus on Running, Trail Running, Hiking, Climbing with ample space for footwear, backpacks, clothing and equipment.
The Pill Base Camp creates an opportunity for positive dialogue between brands, stores and enthusiasts, from which new connections can be made or existing ones strengthened. In a market where products are in danger of all looking the same, it is an opportunity to introduce and learn about new products, test them in the field, but most importantly, a chance to tell and discover the ethical values of the brands and the people behind them.
Behind a brand is not only product, but also people and the values they share.
