Dates and venue for Forum Piscine 2027
Forum Piscine 2027 runs from 10 to 12 February 2027 at the Bologna Fair District, with exhibitions staged in the Bologna Exhibition Centre. The event is part of XLeisure, combining an exhibition area with a structured congress program and experiential installations.
What the exhibition and congress include
Published figures describe the scale of the edition. The expo gathers 200 exhibitors and over 8,000 qualified visitors from more than 30 countries. The supporting program includes 100 educational meetings and 40 live shows, alongside two experiential installations that showcase applied solutions and design scenarios.
The scope covers public and private pools, spas, thermal centers and water leisure projects. The international exhibitor mix provides direct comparison of filtration systems, pumps, water treatment, thermal technology, finishes and wet area design.
Program highlights and experiential features
The congress features both free-entry sessions and paid meetings, with technical presentations, live demonstrations and staged installations developed with associations and design firms. The live shows and experiential set-ups give visiting professionals first-hand exposure to implementation and user experience.
Practical prospecting advice for exhibitors and buyers
Adopt a segmented approach. Pre-event, classify target companies by project type and procurement role and arrange meetings with a clear agenda. At the stand focus on compact technical demos and one-page performance sheets that emphasize operational savings and certifications. Allocate fixed time slots for buyer meetings to avoid clashes with live shows.
After the event, use follow-up templates tailored by segment and propose site visits or pilot projects. For companies working through distributors, prepare a coordinated lead-handling process to manage contacts coming from more than 30 countries.
Tactical tips for on-site effectiveness
- Bring demonstrators and performance metrics that highlight energy efficiency and maintenance costs. Facility managers prioritize lifecycle and operating expense data.
- Provide technical datasheets and certificates in downloadable formats to enable fast follow-up.
- Book meeting slots within the Bologna Exhibition Centre schedule to avoid conflicts with the dense program.
- Ensure booth setup supports live demonstrations without impeding visitor flow.
