ForumPiscine

Last year, XLeisure welcomed over 8,000 professional visitors and more than 150 exhibiting companies, 15% of which were international. The 2026 edition will once again span two exhibition halls.

Organizers Federico Andrea and Roberto Maestrami emphasize that "ForumPiscine continues to be one of the founding pillars of XLeisure, attracting a highly specialized and increasingly international audience. Our goal is to offer a dynamic space for dialogue, inspiration, and real-world solutions for everyone working in the pool sector: from private residential installations to public facilities, from tourism and hospitality structures to major urban redevelopment projects."
