The German Association for the Recreational and Medicinal Bath Industry (DGfdB) and Messe Stuttgart are delighted to announce the forthcoming DGfdB Congress 2024, which will take place from 22 to 24 October 2024 within the framework of the renowned interbad trade fair in Stuttgart.
Exciting modules under the motto "Smart and sustainable"
The DGfdB Congress is one of the most important events in the industry and offers experts in the construction and operation of baths as well as technical equipment a unique platform to exchange knowledge and experiences. The offer has been condensed in order to increase networking opportunities. The "International Session" in English celebrates its première. The motto of this year's congress is "Smart and sustainable". The congress will have a variety of presentations, workshops and discussion panels on current topics and trends in the industry.
"We are really looking forward to the upcoming 70th DGfdB Congress, which will coincide with the 30th interbad 2024 in Stuttgart. Following the opening ceremony with prominent swimmer Britta Steffen, the congress will focus on topics such as the project prepared with Z-punkt on the municipal transformation "Baths as an enabler in the 2030+ municipality". Although the German bath industry - which I happily describe as the "mirror of society" - is considered unique worldwide and outdoor pools are viewed by many as a cultural asset, politically there is still too often the shortened view on costs. A smart and sustainable transformation must work in all areas of the bath industry. The specialist presentations and discussions in the various modules examine all facets with this in mind from the technical equipment and operation through to a future-oriented alignment", reports Christian Mankel, President of the DGfdB.
The highlights of this year's congress include:
- Opening event with keynotes and subsequent podium discussion with the title "Baths undergoing change: the smart and sustainable transformation of baths"
- Presentations and sessions on the operation of baths, construction of baths and their technical equipment, baths as players and enablers, the swimming pool in a social context, as well as staff issues
- Networking events and the opportunity to exchange information and ideas with colleagues and experts
The interbad trade fair, which takes place at the same time as the congress, also offers participants the opportunity to obtain information on the latest products and services in the industry and establish valuable contacts.
