The 2027 edition of XLeisure, the trade show for leisure industry professionals, will be held at BolognaFiere from February 10 to 12, showcasing the best of Italy’s and the world’s products, services, and solutions for managing fitness and wellness clubs, sports centers, swimming pools, and spas, as well as wellness, fitness, and outdoor living experiences for sports, wellness, and hospitality facilities.

The event brings together the 28th edition of ForumClub and the 18th edition of ForumPiscine, which have always been key opportunities for professional development, networking, and business for operators in their respective sectors. XLeisure will take place concurrently with Outex, the event that redefines the concept of outdoor living, focusing on design excellence, innovative design, and cutting-edge solutions for outdoor spaces dedicated to leisure and wellness.

XLeisure EXPO and Conference

On this occasion, BolognaFiere will become an international meeting place, welcoming companies and professionals from various countries and creating the ideal environment for dialogue on new market trends and the opportunities offered by the contemporary leisure industry. The exhibition, enhanced by experiential areas created in collaboration with prestigious partners, will be complemented by the ForumClub International Congress—dedicated to providing continuing education for owners, managers, and technical staff of fitness, sports, and multipurpose centers—as well as an extensive calendar of free conferences open to all visiting industry professionals. An integrated format combining an exhibition area and a conference area, designed to foster dialogue among professionals and promote the sector’s development

The exhibition area will showcase systems and solutions for the fitness and leisure sectors and for all types of swimming pools—public and private, communal and residential: a comprehensive overview of materials, accessories, sustainable systems and solutions, energy-saving technologies, control, measurement, and analysis systems, home automation, heating and air treatment technologies, indoor and outdoor fitness equipment and aquatic activity gear, aesthetics and usability of spaces, furnishings, play equipment, and amenities for swimming pools and water parks, management software, access control systems, and much more.

The Group’s Strength

From an organizational and managerial standpoint, the integration of Editrice Il Campo into the BolognaFiere Group—following the completion of the acquisition—will enable the creation of new synergies between trade show activities and publishing expertise, strengthening the event’s international standing and generating new business opportunities for exhibitors and partners.

In terms of content, in 2027 Outex-Outdoor Experience will expand, gaining greater autonomy and running alongside the inaugural edition of BeFire - International Biomass Heating & Fire Fair. This new international event, dedicated to products and technologies for biomass heating (Italy’s leading renewable energy source), will showcase the excellence of Italian and international manufacturing through a comprehensive offering that will include ovens and barbecues. Outex will thus serve as the ideal bridge between leisure activities centered on water and physical activity and those that define the outdoor experience in its broadest sense. In short, this is a unique opportunity to expand the boundaries of XLeisure and strengthen its growth potential.
