Questex’s Sibec Europe|UK, Europe’s leading one-to-one event for the fitness industry, concluded its event last week at the Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort, in Portugal, with over 750 one-to-one meetings between premier global suppliers and owners and operators of health and fitness facilities in Europe and the UK.

For more than 20 years, Sibec has been Europe’s leading one-to-one event and combines the unique, personalized, intimate concept with organized networking activities and events, lavish receptions, and exceptional education, this year led by unparalleled industry voices: Andreas Paulsen, CEO, Europe Active, and David Stalker, President, Europe Active and CEO, Myzone and Dr. Paul Bedford, Owner, Retention Guru.

With the expansion of the hosted buyer base into the Middle Eastern region, Sibec Europe|UK will be renamed Sibec EMEA. The event will take place 26-29 September at the Hilton Sorrento Palace in Sorrento, Italy.

“While recruiting for this year’s event, we received incredible interest from all over the globe and we had to unfortunately turn people away due to space limitations and the Europe-focused strategy,” said Marty McCallen, Managing Director, Questex Fitness Group, organizer of Sibec Europe|UK.

“At the request of our audience of suppliers, we will expand the event to a larger geographic region and give the entire audience the most valuable event for their business needs. We are excited to host the event next year at the beautiful Hilton Sorrento Palace.”
