FIBO 2027

8–11 April 2027 at the Exhibition Centre Cologne.

9:00–18:00 every day — no short final day.

Thursday to Sunday, open to professionals and enthusiasts alike.

1,015 exhibitors from 54 nations and 175,000 visitors from 136 countries at the most recent event.

480+ lectures and join-in exercises.

FIBO Congress, plus Longevity in Hospitality and Women's Leadership summits.

Running for more than 40 years.

The organiser publishes scam warnings — verify any unsolicited FIBO accommodation or data offers.

Gym and studio owners and operators — the commercial core of the show.

Equipment buyers for chains, independents and hotel fitness facilities.

Personal trainers and coaches.

Physiotherapists and rehabilitation practitioners.

Nutrition and supplement retailers and buyers.

Hospitality operators adding or upgrading wellness and fitness provision — the Longevity in Hospitality Summit is aimed squarely at them.

Fitness industry investors, for whom the organiser positions the show as an investment and trends venue.

Fitness enthusiasts, who are welcome — this is not a trade-only fair, which distinguishes it from most shows of comparable size.

Go on Thursday or Friday for business, and expect the weekend to be busier and more consumer-facing.

Fitness equipment manufacturers — cardio, strength, functional.

Studio and gym technology — access control, booking and management software.

Supplements and sports nutrition brands.

Apparel and accessories.

Recovery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment.

Wellness, spa and longevity providers, an area the organiser is actively expanding.

Franchise and studio concepts looking for operators.

The mixed trade-and-public audience shapes a stand here more than at a trade-only fair: products get physically tested by visitors in numbers, and the organiser counts join-in exercises alongside lectures in its programme figures. Plan for a stand people use, not one they look at.
