Key topics for this year’s event include pool renovation, optimising water and energy consumption, the development of wellness solutions, and adapting shared-use aquatic facilities to evolving needs. These areas are particularly relevant not only to businesses operating in the swimming pool and water attractions sectors, but also to municipalities, hotels, resorts and recreational facilities.
Efficiency and Sustainability in Focus
Piscine Global 2026 will address the transformation of the swimming pool industry not only through new products and technologies, but also by highlighting opportunities to improve the efficiency of existing facilities. Effective water and energy management, improved maintenance processes and the modernisation of ageing facilities are among the key issues shaping the sector’s future.
This approach creates opportunities for both new investment projects and the development of existing swimming pools, water parks and other water-based recreational facilities. Upgrading facilities to meet changing user needs and adopting resource-efficient solutions are becoming increasingly important for operators seeking to enhance both operational performance and the visitor experience.
A Dedicated Focus on Public Aquatic Facilities
As part of the event, Aqualie will bring together municipalities, public-sector decision-makers and professionals working with shared-use aquatic facilities on 19 November. This dedicated gathering will provide a platform to discuss the needs and challenges of public swimming pools, commercial aquatic facilities and projects designed for collective use.
Developments in municipal recreational investments, sports and lifestyle centres, hotel pools and water parks highlight the growing importance of technical solutions, facility management and long-term operational planning. As a result, developments in shared-use aquatic facilities are relevant not only to the swimming pool industry but also to the wider attractions and recreation ecosystem.
An International Meeting Point for Industry Professionals
Piscine Global offers professionals from different markets the opportunity to discover new products, explore practical applications and establish business connections. Its conference programme and industry gatherings will also address topics such as emerging technologies, sustainability, market developments and professional expertise.
Taking place in Lyon from 17 to 20 November 2026, Piscine Global 2026 will serve as an international meeting point for professionals looking to explore developments in the swimming pool and spa industries, alongside water attractions, wellness and recreational facilities.
