Questex’s Sibec Europe|UK, Europe’s leading one-to-one event for the fitness industry, takes place next week – from 27-30 September at the Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort, in Portugal – with support from major European fitness industry leaders.

The event brings together Europe and the UK’s major operators from the private, local authority and trust markets in health, fitness and leisure to meet with key leading global suppliers to participate in a series of one-on-one meetings over two dedicated business days. It is the longest-running hosted buyer event in the fitness industry in Europe.

Attending the event will be Florian Brauer, senior global brand manager of Reed Exhibitions – organisers of FIBO Global Fitness, the world’s largest and most successful fitness trade show – as well as Andreas Paulsen, CEO of Europe Active, and David Stalker, president of Europe Active and CEO of Myzone.

Paulsen and Stalker will also be delivering keynote addresses.

“The show of support we’ve seen in the run-up to this event has been incredible,” said Marty McCallen, managing director, Questex Fitness Group, the official organiser of Sibec Europe|UK.

“We’re proud to have prominent leaders in the fitness community attend our event; it solidifies how valuable this programme is to the industry at large.”

Throughout the event, suppliers will meet one-to-one with club and fitness facility owners and operators, as well as network during meals and other planned activities enabling communication and cross-sharing of ideas, best practices and future business relationships.

To round out the experience, education has been incorporated into the programme as well.
