Hosting not only the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games, Australia is one of the most promising markets for the sports and leisure facility industry. This session will introduce the size and complexity of the Australian market, the sectors that it is segmented into, with the challenges around governance, value, and impact on society.

Directly after the congress session "The activating way to Brisbane 2032 and beyond", guest country Australia invites all IAKS members, friends and interested parties to a Happy Hour at the IAKS stand. Our experts from "down under" will be available for discussions in a casual setting.

Planning attractive pools, natural swimming pools, design of carbon-reduced aquatic facilities, and innovative architectural and engineering planning are dealt with. European standards (both for public and private pools) and operating concepts for public pools form a further block. Register now!

The conversation about equity is not new. Making the design process more accessible to people and inviting more voices to the table shall shape better human connections and help answer the complex and interdependent problems that communities are facing. Join us for discussions!

This year, we welcome a significant number of talented and experienced female experts. We look forward to hearing their ideas and latest findings when they will share their amazing knowledge and expertise. Have a look at the international speaker line-up!

International speakers from science and research will explain indicators and factors to better understand the most important steps for making pools more sustainable buildings on the way to circularity, as well as look at the influence of the most important building components.

This is the release of the latest programme presenting the detailed agenda and international speaker line-up. With 40+ speakers and more to be confirmed, 9 streams, 4 days of networking, drink receptions, and 400 delegates, the 28th IAKS Congress will once again be the must-attend conference.
