A professional window on the Italian market

Organized by the specialized magazine Il Nuovo Club, the ninth edition of Forum Il Nuovo Club – International Congress and Trade Show for Fitness, Wellness and Aquatic Clubs – will take place in Verona, at the Centro Congressi-Palaexpo, on February 22nd, 23rd and 24th.

It is an appointment for professional operators of fitness clubs, wellness centers, swimming pools, sports centers and recreational structures, the only Italian business to business event dedicated to the fitness and health sector. It’s a professional window on the Italian market, one of the most important in Europe, made of 8.000 fitness/wellness clubs (an overall number of 15.000 structures adding swimming pools and sports clubs) and many companies of which some are among the biggest in the world.

Forum Il Nuovo Club Trade Show

All accredited operators will be allowed, free of charge, to the exhibition area, a wide trade show representing all the commercial categories belonging to the wellness industry, including the swimming pool and beauty/aesthetician divisions.

More than 10,000 square meters will be occupied by a hundred of booths and visited by thousands of visitors. Last year 3,400 operators – owners and managers of fitness clubs, wellness clubs, sporting facilities and swimming pools, directors of medical, rehabilitation centers, instructors and thermal centers – joined the event. 800 of them were registered in the congress program.

The Aquatic Management Congress

The Congress Aquatic Management will be the educational corollary to an exhibition area able to attract the companies of the water, spa&beauty sector. Marco Tornatore, executive director of the European Aquatic Association, will illustrate the rising trends and speak about the activities planning in the aquafitness field. He will compare different schools too.

Lionello Ambrosi, vice president of the Sports and Leisure Equipments and Facilities Commission of UNI, will deal with a very important topic: water hygiene.

An renowned company that manages swimming pools will hold a session dedicated to safety in the swimming pool.

A technological area will offer further sessions dedicated to the new technical solutions, while the Italian Swimming Federation chose the Forum Il Nuovo Club to present the Swimming World Championship that will take place in Rome in 2009.
