Germany: Trade Fair Duo FSB/aquanale Starts Today
As of today and until Friday, October 30, Cologne’s exhibition center Koelnmesse hosts the trade fair duo FSB (International Trade Fair for Amenity Areas, Sports and Pool Facilities) and aquanale, the International Trade Fair for Sauna, Pool and Ambience. Covering an exhibition space of 80,000 square meters around 650 companies from 45 countries will present their product novelties and inform visitors about the latest trends within the industry. For the first time the fair-duo, which is held every two years, will take place at Koelnmesse’s modern North Halls 6, 7, 9 and 10. As usual the trade fairs will be accompanied by an extensive framework program featuring presentations and events. These include, amongst others, the sixth “Cologne Swimming Pool and Wellness Forum” as well as the 24th congress organized by IAKS (International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities). This year, EWA’s (European Waterpark Association) special exhibition is entitled “Healing Waters”. In 2013 the fair-duo welcomed a total of around 25,000 visitors. In our next EAP issue (1/2016) we will inform you about this year’s results. (eap)
