The IHRSA European Congress will hold its 20th venue in Lisbon, Portugal, from October 17-20 at the Lisbon Congress Centre.

“After a three-year hiatus, it’s an exciting time to be returning to Lisbon,” said Florian Cartoux, IHRSA Europe director. “The IHRSA Congress is a favorite regional event among fitness industry professionals and attracts distinguished industry leaders from all over Europe. We’re also seeing an increased interest in attendance from the Americas.”

“This Congress gives us the opportunity to work again with Portugal Activo as our local host partner,” added Alison O’Kane Giannaras, IHRSA associate vice president of international operations. “Portugal Activo and its members hosted us in 2008 and 2018 and did a fabulous job.”

Industry leaders will present topics ranging from European trends, sales and marketing for Gen Z and Millenials and on the fitness technology landscape. Venue presentations, including keynote sessions and round table discussions, will be interpreted in French, Spanish and Portuguese. 

On October 20, tours of Lisbon’s top health clubs will occur. Program details and registration information are available here
