Bergamo: 11 - 12 November 2026

10 good reasons to exhibit

FSB Forum Italy is a B2B event dedicated to sports facilities, public spaces, and recreational areas, targeting exhibitors from Italy and Europe.

The event offers a unique opportunity to connect with qualified professionals, showcase innovative solutions, and strengthen your presence in the Italian market. Exhibiting at FSB Forum Italy is an investment in strategic relationships, targeted visibility, and new business opportunities.

A MAJOR TRADE FAIR FOR THE SPORTS FACILITY SECTOR IN ITALY

The highly successful format that has made FSB Cologne the world's No. 1 trade fair in the sector is now also in Italy. 

 

Each year, industry professionals can count on a dedicated Koelnmesse event in Europe: in even-numbered years in Cologne, and in odd-numbered years in Bergamo.

 

This strategic alternation with FSB Cologne ensures companies and attendees can take part in a top-level trade fair annually.

A RESPONSE TO A MARKET NEED

 

FSB Forum Italy was created to meet the concrete and growing needs of the sports facility sector in Italy, which increasingly demands constant renovation, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance.

 

At the same time, the event responds to the demand from companies for a professional platform where they can connect with key players, decision-makers, and public and private stakeholders in the industry.

 

 

A COMPREHENSIVE PRODUCT OFFERING

Numerous sectors will be involved, offering visitors a complete range of products on display: sports facilities, equipment and furnishings, recreational areas, and urban furniture.

 

This offering is expected to attract a large number of visitors, including institutions, public administrations and municipalities, sports facility designers and managers, landscape architects, hotel and sports center managers, as well as sports associations and clubs.

MATCHMAKING: A QUALITY PROPOSAL

An exclusive service for FSB Forum Italy exhibitors: one-to-one meetings between exhibitors and carefully selected industry professionals.

 


An interesting and qualified audience will be present, including representatives from institutional and public administration sectors, as well as sports facility managers, hotel chains, designers, and landscape architects.

IDEAL MARKET CONDITIONS

Supported by a range of incentives and funding programmes promoted by the Italian government, companies will find the ideal conditions to develop new and valuable business opportunities with the sector’s leading professionals.

THE LOCATION

Fiera di Bergamo is a modern exhibition center in a central location, well-connected by an extensive transport network from both Italy and abroad. It offers ample parking and tailored logistics designed specifically for exhibitors.

Exhibitors and visitors will be able to focus solely on their business, without worrying about the many logistical aspects — all of which will be handled by us.
