Public space design and sports facility planning are moving fast on technical and environmental fronts. Cologne becomes a focal point from 26 to 29 October 2027.
FSB 2027 brings manufacturers, planners and facility operators together at Exhibition Centre Cologne to evaluate products, align specifications and schedule B2B meetings with international buyers.
Practical details for attendance
FSB 2027 runs from 26 to 29 October 2027 at the Exhibition Centre Cologne. The fair provides an exhibitor search, hall plans and an app to manage visitor badges and appointments. Services for booth construction and logistics are listed in the exhibitor service shop to streamline setup and dismantling.
Sectors and company profiles on site
The show is organised into three theme worlds covering sport, public spaces and leisure facilities. Exhibitors include suppliers of synthetic turf and sports surfaces, playground manufacturers, landscape architects and operators of stadiums and arenas. Buyers typically come from municipalities, planning offices and project development companies.
Programme highlights and event areas
Core elements of the programme are the IAKS Congress and sessions dedicated to sustainable sports facilities, lifecycle assessment and material reuse. Event areas such as SportAtrium and Urban Oasis present products in operational settings. FSB runs concurrently with aquanale and the combined ticket allows comparison of pool and leisure solutions.
Key figures
Reference figures from the organiser show 575 exhibitors and 28,000 trade visitors, with 62 percent of attendees arriving from abroad. These numbers underline the event’s international reach and the concentration of procurement professionals.
How to prospect efficiently at FSB 2027
Start by filtering the exhibitor list by product groups to build a short list. Use the event app to block meeting times and leave transit margins between halls. Prepare a technical one-pager for each target contact with delivery windows, certification data and reference projects. If you represent a supplier, calculate stand needs early and book order services to avoid last-minute surcharges.
Leverage the co-location with aquanale when your solutions address aquatic venues to offer bundled proposals to operators and buyers.
