With Elevate 2026 fast approaching, leisure and physical activity professionals are being encouraged to secure their free place at this year’s landmark 10th anniversary edition event.
The UK’s leading trade event for fitness, sport and physical activity will take place at Excel London on 17-18 June 2026, where it will once again welcome thousands of decision-makers from gyms, leisure operators, studios, sports clubs, healthcare, education and community sport. Over the past decade the event has become the sector’s flagship meeting place for innovation, collaboration and professional learning.
The anniversary event will bring together more than 200 leading suppliers, a packed programme of expert speakers and more than 6,000 industry professionals across two days of networking, discovery and insight.
Education remains central to the event, with Future Fit returning as Elevate’s official education partner, helping shape the programme and ensuring high-quality learning opportunities for professionals across the sector.
To mark ten years of Elevate, the 2026 show will introduce several new features. Dedicated Legacy Sessions will reunite speakers from the very first event in 2016, offering a unique opportunity to reflect on how the industry has evolved and where it is headed. For the first time, Elevate’s 4 curated education theatres will be hosted by well-known industry figures, encouraging discussion and audience engagement.
A special ‘Beat The Street’ style Exhibitor Trail, delivered in partnership Intelligent Health, will also recognise and celebrate the brands that have supported Elevate since the start, alongside new movement and mindfulness breaks designed to keep delegates active and energised throughout the event.
Lucy Findlay-Beale, event director at Elevate, says: “Celebrating ten years of Elevate is a huge milestone for the event and the wider industry. The sector has evolved enormously since 2016, and our anniversary edition will both reflect that progress and look ahead to the next decade of physical activity, health and performance.”

“The importance of the event, Elevate, is to bring together the fitness industry, the technology industry, the healthcare sector and the really important people - who are the practitioners who promote physical activity - and give them a sound bed of evidence to take away and use in their everyday lives. New equipment, new ideas, new energy.” Prof. Charlie Foster, World Health Organisation and Oxford University.
