Both in world-class and leisure sports, success is powered by performance. And this is particulary true for the sports facilities themselves. In the competition between public and private sector operators, sports and leisure concepts are in demand. Innovative ideas make sports facilities more attractive for participants, spectators and event organisers. Welcome to the perfect training camp at FSB!
At FSB 2009 among the sports facility section, new and innovative products have been presened f.ex. new indoor floor coverings, modular sports facilities, modern display, projection and time-keeping systems, new ticket terminals and check-out systems, sports appliances and equipment and even an anti-vandalism court were presented. In addition to products and projects, the visitors also had the opportunity to indulge in sporting activities in the exhibition halls: in the FIBA Village basketball and wheelchair basketball were played, on the mini football pitches among others the Bambini league teams competed against each other, while the ice rink presented ice hockey, exhibition skating and curling.
Be one of the exhibitors in Cologne when all the action begins. You will meet, impress and win over your target group at FSB 2011!
In the sports facility section the theme of synthetic turf played a key role, because the world's largest synthetic turf exhibition was held within FSB. Over 100 companies presented the latest developments and diverse range of possible applications for artificial grass. The new generation of synthetic turf presented at the event not only improves the ball's rolling and playing characteristics. It also looks more natural and has easier-care properties. "We are very satisfied with business at the fair", said Albert Prisse, Secretary-General of the European Synthetic Turf Organisation (ESTO). "We not only had a very large number, but also very interesting international contacts. In particular the concept of the ESTO members' joint, spacious presentation in Hall 11.3 clearly proved itself." The premiere of the Synthetic Turf Forum organized by ESTO and the IAKS was a complete success: In 19 sessions and the IAKS special conference entitled "Municipalities and Sport", sector experts from FIFA, the Synthetic Turf Council, the Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) along with representatives from the sector's leading players presented and discussed the requirements, latest trends and best-Practice examples covering all aspects of the synthetic turf theme in front of an audience of around 500 visitors.
