What will I find at FSB?+

The organiser groups the fair into three focus areas: Public Spaces, Sport and Leisure Facilities. Product examples on its pages include artificial turf, granulated rubber flooring, outdoor fitness apparatus, climbing frames and playground equipment. Trend topics it names include sponge city planning, climate-fit sports facilities, the circular economy and inclusion.

Is FSB held alongside another show?+

Yes. The organiser of the neighbouring aquanale says the two fairs have run at the same time in Cologne since 2003, and that an aquanale ticket also gives access to FSB. Both are organised by Koelnmesse, so visitors interested in swimming pool, sauna and wellness products can combine the two visits.

How do I get to the fairgrounds and do I need a visa?+

The organiser says the Köln Messe/Deutz station is next to the grounds, with S-Bahn lines S6, S11, S12 and S19 at Entrance South and trams or underground lines 1 and 9 at Köln Messe/Deutz (Underground). Cologne-Bonn Airport serves air arrivals. For visas, Koelnmesse provides an invitation letter form on the site from six months before the fair; earlier letters are not accepted by embassies.

How do I exhibit and who do I contact?+

The organiser's exhibitor pages include an online stand application and a stand cost calculator. For stand questions call +49 221 821-3998; for visitor questions call +49 221 821-2020.
