of tomorrow’s urban living spaces.

and compact manner in individually themed halls.

Looking ahead

With the successful joint presentation of the swimming pool sectors from aquanale

(International Trade Fair for Sauna. Pool. Ambience) and FSB Public swimming pool

construction in 2013 in particular, all sectors involved made a decisive step forward

and confi rmed the theory that integrated trade-fair concepts should always be

developed and advanced together.

Uniting the conventional and the innovative

AMENITY AREAS – SPORTS and PUBLIC POOL FACILITIES are structured anew,

in order to better leverage existing synergies and to create new networks.

Benefi ts, Global and Domestic

The FSB has enjoyed an international reputation since 1969. It has always been

particularly important to take into account changes in the market and to implement

them into the fair concept. From 2015 on, the fair will no longer take place during

North Rhine Westphalia’s autumn holidays and is therefore guaranteed unrestricted

attention from municipal decision-makers, planners, landscape architects and sporting

associations.

AS THE WORLD’S LEADING INDUSTRY

EVENT, THE FSB IS A MUST FOR

EVERYONE WANTING TO MAKE

A SPLASH IN THE PLAYGROUNDS,

SPORTS, OPEN SPACE AND PUBLIC

POOL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES.

AMENITY AREAS

CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The goal: To create amenity areas and urban environments for social change and

stimulate them with sustainable support. This constitutes a big challenge for municipa-

lities and communities. With attractive themes relating to amenity areas and play-

grounds, the new Hall 9 at FSB provides you, as an exhibitor, with the ideal framework.

Among the many pressing questions about the future for trade visitors from all over

the world, the most important relate to the processes of change in urban habitats

resulting from demographic changes, the demand for accessibility and peoples’

changing leisure patterns and habits. As a supplier of playground equipment, outdoor

fi tness equipment, playground design, urban furniture, urban planning, and lighting

architecture for outdoor space, you will fi nd attractive solutions and sustainable

products. At FSB in Cologne, we offer you the ideal business platform!

Delight your target groups communities, landscape architects and planners at fi rst go

and present yourself and your products in real-life themed worlds which highlight your

company’s expertise.

FRESHFRESH

Our concept to organise the FSB and aquanale with the same event schedule

and duration has gone over very well: We have received so much encouragement

from the industry on the topic. The new date, falling outside of North Rhine

Westphalia’s autumn holidays, speaks directly to the presence of planning

offi ces and to target the public demand side of the NRW metropolitan area. «

Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Offi cer of Koelnmesse

The FSB attracts all the market leaders to the pulsating Cologne, as well as top deci-

sion-makers. Every two years the international number one industry platform brings

together leaders from local authorities, sports clubs and associations and a highly

innovative industry. Operators from all areas meet architects, planners and investors.

Around 90 per cent of the trade visitors from 115 countries are directly involved in

purchasing decisions. The international share of trade visitors is over 55% and the

FSB is making every effort to increase international trade visitor numbers even more.

Expand your network and tap into new target markets in Europe, Russia and the United

States. Shape the future of your industry in Cologne!

Whether you arrive by plane, car or train, the exciting metropolis of Cologne is easily

accessible from all directions. You can reach the Cologne / Bonn airport in just a few

minutes by train. The ICE brings you quickly to Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and

Brussels airports. Travelling by car? There are about 15,000 parking spaces adjacent to

the exhibition. Have a good trip!

An extensive hotel capacity with approximately 90,000 beds means Cologne has the

perfect accommodation for every requirement and every budget. But it would be a

shame to spend too much of your stay sleeping: Discover the diverse entertainment

options and immerse yourself in the vibrant cultural scene! Strengthen your new

business contacts over a delicious dinner or a glass of Kölsch!
