NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sibec, the leading one-to-one event for the fitness industry, organized by Questex, presented its first abridged version of the beloved event in Dallas, Texas, October 16-18, 2023 at the Westin Galleria. The event offered a focused opportunity for the fitness industry to foster business relationships between buyers and suppliers.
For over 25 years, Sibec has offered global fitness industry suppliers unparalleled networking opportunities with leading owners, operators and decision makers from United States fitness facilities and clubs including high volume chain, independent and commercial clubs in a seamless, business-focused environment over two days. This new express format created a more focused event with the same networking facetime, designed for attendees who don’t have the time to commit to three to four days out of the office.
For a day and a half, global fitness suppliers and major owners and operators from health, fitness, and leisure facilities in the United States, joined together for an unparalleled networking experience, pioneered by the Sibec brand.
“We noted a need for a smaller, more intimate event that was centrally located in the United States. That way, we could facilitate meetings with buyers and suppliers that they were looking for in less time without losing the character of a Sibec event,” said Robert Shannon, Jr, Global Director of Sibec Events.
Participants participated in a minimum of 16 one-to-one meetings, a keynote presentation by Jeff Skeen, CEO, Results Redefined, three roundtables between suppliers and buyers to discuss fitness fundamentals and trends, and a Supplier Showcase, where buyers were able to meet with suppliers they did not have scheduled appointments with.
In between, attendees had ample networking time at all meals and receptions for both relationship building and fun.
“I have been attending since its second year. Sibec has been a key component in the success of my company by offering the opportunity to have access to decision makers in a serious and engaged environment,” said Timothy Petsch of TMI Sustainable Aquatics.
“This was a first-class experience in regard to location, direct and instant communication, lodging and most importantly, the presenters and businesses that were in attendance,” stated Amanda Moran of Michigan Athletic Club.
The next scheduled Sibec event is Sibec Americas, offering the largest Sibec event of the year, connecting global suppliers with business owners and operators of the Americas. Click here for more on that event.
