Organized by Next Group (through its subsidiary Padel Trend Srl) in collaboration with the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation and with the sponsorship of the Municipality of Milan at Allianz MiCo, the Expo welcomed 22,000 visitors and hosted 120 booths in an 18,000 sqm pavilion.
The innovative concept, with a dual B2B and B2C approach, offered three days of sports, business, and fun for everyone.
Participants enjoyed 6 Padel courts and 2 Pickleball courts, attended clinics with top world coaches, and witnessed exhibitions by renowned players like Tolito Aguirre, Mati Diaz, Mike Yanguas, Momo Gonzales, and many others. Exciting challenges involved well-known faces from sports, entertainment, and music.
On the B2B side, 145 companies showcased their latest products, creating networking and business partnership opportunities.
The comprehensive program also included education and inclusion, with training sessions for university students, the first National Conference on Padel Traumatology, and social inclusion activities like European Mixed Padel and the Inclusive Padel Tour.
Padel Trend Expo 2024 also supported charitable initiatives, including Padel For the Cure by Komen Italia and “Palla Al Centro” by the Francesca Rava NPH Italia ETS Foundation.
For the second consecutive year, the event demonstrated a commitment to innovation and inclusion in the world of sports, particularly in Padel, leaving an indelible mark on the community!
