With just over a month to go until Elevate descends onto the capital with full force, final preparations are underway to ensure the inaugural trade event is ready to host experts from a range of professions including sport science, leisure management, research and development, performance, local government and public health.

They are all focused on coming together to tackle one key issue: physical inactivity.

Now that we are counting down the days until the event on 4 and 5 May 2016, we can exclusively reveal a couple of surprises from the event. 4 and 5 Both Public Health England and Sport England have recently been confirmed as lead supporters and Dame Sally Davies will be giving an opening address at Elevate.

Bounts, the exercise reward app, will be designing the official Elevate 2016 app for the event which will allow attendees to plan their visit and find out the timetable for the day.

Meanwhile Matrix will be unveiling their new S Drive Sports Performance Trainer at the show, bringing along a couple of special guests for their stand and Zoggs UK will be launching their new Disney Finding Dory range of swimming equipment for all aquatic enthusiasts.
