BOSTON, MA<\/strong> – The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) has announced that the Annual IHRSA International Convention & Trade Show (IHRSA 2021) will now take place September 20 – 22, 2021, in Los Angeles, CA. IHRSA 2021 marks the association\u2019s 40th anniversary. In fact, IHRSA 2021 will take place exactly 40 years to the month of IHRSA\u2019s founding in September of 1981.<\/p>\n IHRSA\u2019s Annual International Convention & Trade Show brings world-class business keynote speakers together and offers dozens of education sessions. Attendees will hear from leading operators in the health and fitness industry and share and take away new ideas to elevate health and fitness clubs. The IHRSA Trade Show is traditionally where the industry\u2019s latest innovations, products, and services are launched, showcasing the exciting global fitness world for all to see and experience.<\/p>\n All in all, the IHRSA International Convention & Trade Show is the premier annual gathering for the global fitness industry.<\/p>\n IHRSA 2021 will mark the fourth time that the Annual IHRSA International Convention & Trade Show will visit Los Angeles, a popular destination for IHRSA and its members. The global fitness industry has convened there in 2017, 2015, and 2012. Historically, the event brings together club owners, operators, and suppliers from more than 70 countries.<\/p>\n Due to the coronavirus pandemic\u2019s ongoing implications, the association began exploring options for rescheduling the event this summer. After consulting the IHRSA Board of Directors, its club and supplier membership, and key industry stakeholders, September 20-22 in Los Angeles, CA, was determined to be the best possible event location and timeframe.<\/p>\n \u201cThe consensus we heard is that there is too much uncertainty right now to commit to a large in-person event in March. Companies are still managing their way through this crisis. The industry will be in a much stronger position in the fall of 2021 to come together for the first major in-person event since the crisis began,\u201d said Brent Darden, IHRSA president and CEO.<\/p>\n IHRSA 2021 had initially been scheduled to occur in March at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV.<\/p>\n
