25th IAKS Congress
IAKS will be holding its 25th international congress for the design, construction, modernization and management of sports and leisure facilities on the occasion of the FSB Trade Fair in Cologne, Germany, from November 7 to 10, 2017. Both events are devoted to link global trends with developments of the industry.

Participation by experts in planning, design, construction and operations will help foster an international exchange about new ideas and strategies, and facilitate a meaningful and insightful transfer of knowledge.
