interbad 2026 Opens in Stuttgart

(eap) interbad 2026 has opened its doors at Messe Stuttgart! Until Thursday, 8 October, the international swimming pool, sauna and spa industry will gather at the three-day trade fair. Across more than 26,000 square metres of exhibition space, companies are presenting products, technologies and solutions for municipal and privately operated pools as well as for the hotel and spa sectors. The exhibition is complemented by an extensive conference and supporting programme.

For the first time, interbad is dedicating a separate themed area to the trend topic of “Longevity”. The focus is on areas such as cryotherapy, regenerative treatments and modern approaches to prevention and performance optimisation. The “Finnish Sauna Lounge by Sauna from Finland”, meanwhile, places nature and authentic Finnish sauna culture centre stage under this year’s theme of “Forest”.

Following their successful debut in 2024, the two freely accessible programme areas are also returning to the show floor this year. Topics include human resources, marketing and personal development as well as practical applications and solutions. The “interbad Innovation Award” will once again recognise outstanding new products and innovations from across the industry.

Further opportunities for professional exchange are provided by the European Waterpark Association (EWA) with its EWA Lounge (Stand 1J71), which is hosting a stand reception today from 4 pm, as well as by the congress of the German Association for Public Swimming Pools (DGfdB) and the “Saunaimpulse” programme at the ICS International Congress Center Stuttgart.

Which product innovations, trends and solutions the industry is presenting at interbad 2026 will be featured in one of our upcoming issues. The EAP team is also on site and looks forward to meeting industry professionals in Stuttgart! ■
