This zone covers the complete industry chain including sports venue construction, facility support, and equipment provision, offering one-stop solutions for schools, communities, and sports venue operators. Green, eco-friendly, and sustainable practices emerge as key themes throughout the zone.
Focusing on sports services, event operations, and mass fitness consumption, this zone showcases the latest trends in the industry’s transition from product manufacturing to service-oriented consumption.
The 2026 CISSE features a record number of supporting activities, with over **50 professional forums, conferences, and competitive events** scheduled throughout the exhibition:

The launch of this program marks a significant milestone in CISSE’s transformation from a traditional exhibition platform to a comprehensive service provider, and will vigorously promote the international development of Chinese sports equipment companies.
Aligned with industry trends, the 2026 CISSE highlights three key emerging sectors:
The application of artificial intelligence in sports training, competition analysis, and venue management stands as one of the expo’s most anticipated topics. Smart fitness equipment, AI-based fitness assessment systems, and digital training platforms will be prominently featured, showcasing the latest achievements in sports technology.
Responding to China’s “Dual Carbon” goals, the expo has established a dedicated green zone showcasing eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient equipment, and sustainable products as green sports solutions. Green exhibitions and green participation have become shared principles throughout the event.
With rising public awareness of fitness, the outdoor recreation market continues to heat up. Exhibition space for camping gear, mountaineering equipment, water sports gear, cycling equipment, and other outdoor categories has further expanded to meet diverse consumer demands.
“CISSE 2026’s scale breakthrough reflects concentrated industry confidence,” said the Organizing Committee. “We are delighted to see an increasing number of companies choosing CISSE as an important platform for brand showcasing and market expansion. This year’s expo will continue to uphold principles of professionalism, openness, and cooperation, building an efficient bridge for exchange and collaboration across the global sports equipment industry.”
