More than 200 operators and suppliers from across Europe are expected to visit this year's Sibec event, which takes place at the Hilton Hotel in Malta between 2 and 5 November.

Now in its 15th year, the event has already secured a number of the big European fitness operators - including Fitness First, Virgin Active, David Lloyd Leisure, DC Leisure, Leisure Connection, Hilton Hotels/LivingWell Health Clubs, Anytime Fitness, Gold's Gym, DIR and Clubmed.

David Zarb Jenkins, event director, says: "This year, delegates will also have an opportunity to interact with some of the industry's most established influencers in a 'Question Time' style session."
