XLeisure, the 17th International Pool & Spa Expo and Congress, took place from February 11-13, 2026, at the Bologna Fair District in Italy. This event was part of a larger exhibition and cultural platform that combined the ForumPiscine, Outex-Outdoor Experience, and ForumClub exhibitions. The fair was a significant business-to-business event that aimed to increase business opportunities, training, and networking between communities in the sports and active leisure market.

The exhibition area was vast, covering a significant portion of the Bologna Fair District. It attracted a large number of exhibitors from abroad, making it an international trade fair. The participating companies showcased technology, design, planning, construction, and management of swimming pools in public and private facilities, spas, and thermal centers. The event was a point of reference for professionals in the sector and interested private individuals.

In addition to the exhibition area, the congress program offered free entry sessions and paid meetings. These sessions were complemented by scenographic and experiential installations designed with the collaboration of associations, designers, and companies themselves. These installations provided operators with a direct experience of new trends in the design of public and private spaces both indoors and outdoors.

XLeisure is known for its winning synergy between different exhibitions. This year's event was no exception. It brought together various sectors under one roof to foster collaboration and innovation. The energy generated during these days remains strong even after the event's conclusion. A big thank you goes out to all exhibitors, speakers, and visitors who contributed to making XLeisure a success.

The organizers expressed their gratitude to all participants and highlighted that XLeisure 2025 is officially over but the spirit of this event continues to inspire future gatherings.
