This is the BIG one!
Thirty years in the making, SPATEX 2026, is the BIG, beautiful show the water leisure industry has been waiting for. Now sold out of stand space, and with an increased floorplan, it features the biggest line-up of exhibiting companies ever staged. Plus, a new double seminar programme, and a plethora of exciting networking events, this special anniversary edition is an unmissable international event.
A BIGG warm welcome…
…to Kayleigh Biggs, SPATEX’s new Head of Operations. Kayleigh says: “After working alongside SPATEX for many years in the capacity of Senior Event Manager at Coventry Building Society Arena, it feels like an organic step to officially join the team. Thanks to the large number of welcoming messages I have received, I already feel part of the SPATEX family.”

As the show’s roving ambassador, Kayleigh is spending her first weeks introducing and familiarising herself with key personnel from the industry and its various associations.
