Shape Fitness. Advance Sports. Protect Health.
This is what active connected stands for: the new trade fair that takes the interaction between fitness, sport and health to the next level – innovative, connected and future-oriented.
WELCOME TO ACTIVE CONNECTED 2027
With active connected, the Leipziger Messe is launching a new, forward-looking trade fair concept for the fitness, sports and prevention industry. While the traditional therapy trade fairs focus on recovery and getting healthy again, active connected puts the focus on staying healthy – making it the central meeting point for everyone who inspires and enables people to stay active.
The concept: connected, digital, practical
Fitness, sport and prevention are becoming increasingly interconnected. The trade fair brings together providers, studios, clubs, companies, experts and service providers on a compact and focused platform.
Experience digital innovation
Experience the sports facilities of the future: intelligent studio access, digital training systems, modern architecture and prevention solutions.
active connected creates one platform where manufacturers, operators, clubs, trainers and elite athletes can exchange ideas directly – in a practical and future-oriented environment.
As the only trade fair representing the complete value chain of professional sport, active connected connects training methods and equipment with sports facility solutions, wearables, apparel, accessories and digital technologies. It brings together fitness, organized sport and corporate health management – providing all participants with the ideal platform to discover innovations, build new partnerships and strategically develop their offerings.
Digital tools, smart systems and data-driven training management are shaping the future of the industry. Active-connected showcases these developments live – from tracking and diagnostics to AI-supported training planning.
A Unique Trade Fair Experience
- One exhibition hall for maximum networking
- Stand spaces of up to 200 m² to ensure a diverse mix of industry players
- Conferences taking place directly in the exhibition hall, allowing theory and practice to interact seamlessly
- Live demonstrations and innovation areas providing practical, user-focused insights
Why the timing is ideal – for visitors and exhibitors alike
For visitors:
- A compact overview of trends, innovations and new technologies
- The ideal time to plan the training and service offering for the year ahead
- The opportunity to discover new cooperation partners, products and solutions
- Inspiration for program development, service design and strategic planning
For exhibitors:
- An optimal sales and communication platform in the second half of the year
- Access to decision-makers with strong planning capabilities and investment potential
- The perfect phase for initiating new projects and supporting year-end business activities
The early October date also closes a gap in the trade fair calendar and offers both target groups maximum relevance.
