The first edition of FSB Forum Italy, which will take place at the Bergamo Exhibition Centre on 11 and 12 November 2026, is already attracting strong interest from companies and recording a significant increase in registrations, with numerous confirmations currently underway. This is a clear sign of the interest and confidence the sector is placing in this new initiative organised by Koelnmesse Italia, conceived as a platform for dialogue between public and private stakeholders on the future of sports facilities.
A first edition dedicated to spaces for sport and collective wellbeing
FSB Forum Italy will primarily focus on the design and redevelopment of spaces dedicated to sport and collective wellbeing. The initiative draws on the success of FSB Cologne, confirming the value and relevance of a project that places Italy and the sector's leading players at the centre of the discussion.
The event is designed to bring together industry professionals for two days of meetings and discussions, presenting itself as a European trade fair in an ideal setting to share the latest innovations and establish new business relationships.
Commenting with satisfaction on the market's response to the event, Thomas Rosolia, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Italia, stated: "The initiative was created with the aim of promoting constructive dialogue between public and private stakeholders involved in the design and redevelopment of spaces dedicated to sport and collective wellbeing, thereby helping to shape the future development of the sector. The first edition will bring with it numerous new features designed to enrich the experience of all participants."
