From 11 to 13 February 2026, BolognaFiere will host XLeisure, the major international trade fair that brings together, in a single container, three specialised shows: ForumPiscine, dedicated to the world of swimming pools, spas and water attractions; ForumClub, the leading B2B event for the fitness and wellness sector with both an exhibition area and a congress area; and Outex, the space that celebrates the outdoors through new inspiration and functionality, with the aim of transforming outdoor spaces into an oasis of well-being.
XLeisure is therefore an “extra-large” format that offers an integrated and cross-sector vision of the industry, gaining the approval each year of companies, professionals and operators in the field. Its success is in fact confirmed by the figures: over 8,000 qualified visitors, more than 150 exhibitors (20% of them international), 100 training sessions, 40 live shows, more than 30 countries represented and two experiential installations.
Innovation and sustainability at the heart of ForumPiscine
Within XLeisure, ForumPiscine, now in its 17th edition, is confirmed as the reference event in Italy for the world of swimming pools, spas and water attractions. This is where Italian and international companies present, as a preview, cutting-edge products, technologies and services, creating connections between the tourism, construction, architecture and wellness sectors.
Here the future of the industry is being built. At ForumPiscine 2026 there are two key words: innovation, first of all, because technological evolution involves every aspect of the pool and spa universe – from products to equipment, from services to furnishings, flooring and coverings – and the best novelties find here their natural showcase; and then sustainability, because progress today cannot be separated from the search for solutions oriented towards circularity, resource saving and energy efficiency, for an increasingly responsible and conscious growth of the entire sector.
Alongside the exhibition area, ForumPiscine offers a free three-day International Congress, with workshops, round tables and talks by experts. A valuable opportunity to update oneself, compare experiences and grasp in advance the trends that are transforming the market.
ForumPiscine 2026 will take place in Halls 21 and 22 of BolognaFiere. Expo entry is free, upon online registration.
