The second Xiamen Sports Industry Expo is set to take place at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Xiamen, Fujian province from Nov 16 to 18, local media reported.
With the theme of industrial integration and innovative development, the expo will focus on six different exhibitions: stadium facilities, fitness and rehabilitation equipment, sports shoes and clothes, smart hardware for sports tech, the international sports service industry and the sports industry's derivative industries.
The upcoming event will organize a series of activities, such as the National Electronic Sports Tournament, the 2018 Ironman (Xiamen), a cultural innovation carnival, an international fitness competition, and the World Leisure Sports Science and Industry Forum.
The World Leisure Sports Science and Industry Forum includes a main forum, a roundtable forum and eight sub-forums.
Members of the World Leisure Organization, including more than 300 experts in leisure sports from 20 countries and regions, such as the United States, Canada, France, Japan, Russia, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam, will be invited to share their opinions on relations between the leisure sports economy and urban development, the e-sports industry and the development of leisure sports education during the forum.
A highlight of the expo will see the award-winning works of the ISPO Award 2018, the highest honor in the design of sports products, on display at the expo, which is expected to bring benefits to local sports product manufacturers.
In addition, coaches from the International Sports and Training Academy in Switzerland, a non-profit organization focused on providing premium physical training and sports educational services, will be invited to give lessons to the expo-goers.
Children's sports is another focus of the upcoming expo. Children's hockey, roller skating, basketball, football, baseball, rugby, boxing and other children's sports will be on show.
The first Xiamen Sports Industry Expo was held in January, which set up 980 booths for more than 300 companies from home and abroad.
