Where innovation meets health: experience the Future of Fitness at FIBO 2026

Step into the future of fitness at FIBO 2026, where cutting-edge technology and health converge in the Confex Hall at Exhibition Centre Cologne, Germany, between 16-19 April.

This state-of-the-art hub is a playground for tech-savvy fitness enthusiasts and industry professionals alike, showcasing how artificial intelligence, smart technologies and digitisation are revolutionising the way we train, recover and thrive.

The Confex Hall is more than just an exhibition space – it's a launchpad for innovation.

The Future Forum is central to the event, enabling visitors to explore groundbreaking insights from global leaders such as Europe Active and Flitfit. Private visitors can also join the action on the weekend, experiencing mixed reality training, AI-based fitness solutions and more – presented by the BSA Akademie.

Tech Valley, now housed in the Confex Hall, offers a stage for visionary companies and startups to unveil game-changing hardware and software. Whether it’s personalized training programs, seamless studio management, or cognitive fitness tools, the innovations on display promise to redefine the fitness experience.

With its sleek design, new dedicated networking spaces and direct access to Köln Messe/Deutz station, the Confex Hall is the ultimate destination for anyone passionate about the future of fitness.

Don’t just imagine the possibilities – experience them at FIBO 2026, where technology becomes the heartbeat of health and wellness.
