1. IHRSA Brings Fitness Industry Innovation to Miami Beach
For the first time in IHRSA’s 41-year history, IHRSA 2022 will be held in Miami Beach, FL! It’s a beautiful and eccentric destination that is sure to set the stage for an exciting atmosphere at the Trade Show.
If you’re looking for ideas on where to eat and what to do outside of the Convention & Trade Show, we’ve got you covered.
2. A Gigantic Exhibition Space to Discover Products
There’s no better way to test-drive and compare products than with a firsthand experience. The Miami Beach Convention Center boasts over 360,000-square-feet of exhibition space for attendees to feast their eyes upon a myriad of health, fitness, and wellness offerings. After all, the IHRSA Trade Show is the biggest commercial fitness expo in the U.S., so we need a lot of space to show off our sensational exhibitors’ products.
Pro tip: stay tuned for the release of the Trade Show map to highlight the booths you need to visit during the expo.
3. Test Drive New Products Hands-on
We’re all eager to meet in-person thanks to a big shift to hybrid or fully remote working models. (I’m not complaining by any means, but socializing in person just hits different.) This is a must-attend event for any professional in the health, fitness, and wellness industry to stay on top of what’s trendy and test products in real life.
You’ll get to try out software to boost your business goals, fitness equipment that raises the bar, nutrition supplements to ensure your members are meeting their health needs, technology that will literally blow your mind, and everything in between. Plus, we hear there may be exciting new product launches.
4. Build Relationships With Major Industry Brands
Featuring more than 200 exhibitors over two days, the IHRSA 2022 Trade Show is the place to build relationships, learn innovative strategies, and cut deals. Don’t miss out on the chance to network with major brands, such as Matrix, True Fitness, ABC Fitness Solutions, Club Automation, Technogym, Core Health & Fitness, SportsArt, Les Mills,and so many more.
