After the successful edition of ForumPiscine 2016 in its GALLERY version, the organizers are already working to bring the event back to the halls of the Bologna Fair District. 

The next edition will take place from Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th February 2017 in Hall 19 of the Bologna Exhibition Centre and at the Bologna Congress Centre, connected to the Fair. 

«We are very committed in the creation of the next edition - commented Federico and Roberto Maestrami of Editrice Il Campo, co-authors and organizers of the event - For the 2016 edition we tried to meet the requirements of manufacturers, distributors and, in general, of trade companies and we organized a "slender" event in terms of size and participation conditions. The goal was to match culture and business, enhance innovation and dialogue between complementary sectors and, most of all, help companies to participate thanks to the limited investments required». 

Trade operators really appreciated the opportunities offered by the GALLERY edition, where they could meet over 6,000 visitors among professionals and high-profile buyers, so precious for networking and new business. 

ForumPiscine-ForumClub 2016 also attracted a new audience, e.g. thermal centres, accommodation structures and water parks and once again it proved to be the must-attend event in Italy and abroad for the sector of pools, Spas, fitness and wellness.

In 2017: Back to the Exhibition Hall 

The new features introduced last February will be improved for the ForumPiscine-ForumClub 2017. The event will be back to its "classic" version, i.e. international exhibition area and Congress at the Bologna Exhibition & Congress Centre.

An entire hall, with over 16,000 sqm surface, will be dedicated to the exhibition of products and services for those who want to design, build, restore or requalify private, public and commercial pools, wellness centres, Spas, hotels and fitness clubs, whereas congress rooms will be reserved to education and training of trade professionals.

«We trust that exhibitors and visitors will welcome the Forum back to the Exhibition Centre, as in 2017 they will find the typical spaces of an international Expo, as well as the speed presentations by exhibitors, the b2b meetings and much more", say the Maestrami brothers.

The Congress contents will be available soon

The Forum's team is already working on the organization of the exhibition area and it's also laying the foundations for the Congress contents, with the aim to confirm the growing trend of 2016, with over 800 congressmen at the sessions and meetings on sale; the next year a rich program of free workshops promoted by trade associations and companies is confirmed, too.
