Be part of the future!
The IAKS network brings together everyone involved in the planning, design, construction, and operation of sports and leisure facilities.
Our mission is to foster meaningful exchange among all stakeholders, share knowledge, encourage innovative thinking, and explore new paths together. We do this by creating opportunities for people to connect in diverse ways – through events, publications, our sb magazine, and webinars.
But this network only thrives when it is shaped and driven by dedicated, passionate members.
On this page, you’ll find inspiring ways venue managers are already contributing to IAKS – and how their involvement is enriching their own work.
We look forward to connecting with you and welcoming your ideas and energy into our community!
Find the best partners for your venue

The IAKS network brings together a wide range of professionals from across the sports and leisure industry—including consultants, manufacturers, planners, and operators. Whether you need strategic advice, hands-on support, or inspiration for programming, you’ll find the right people here.
Connecting is easy and takes place in a trusted, members-only environment. Through exclusive events and communication channels, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange ideas openly—discussing trends, challenges, and success stories both online and in person.


Present your venue and invite our experts
Showcase your facility to an international audience!
IAKS is always eager to highlight exceptional, well-managed, or innovative sports and leisure facilities around the world. That’s why IAKS International and its national sections regularly organize facility tours.
If you'd like to host international experts, present your concept and operational approach, we would love to hear from you. It's a win-win: you raise the visibility of your venue, receive valuable direct feedback, and connect with potential partners. At the same time, participants benefit from exclusive, behind-the-scenes insights and the opportunity to ask in-depth questions on site.

At IAKS, knowledge sharing is one of our core values—and we count on our members to help drive it forward. Whether as a speaker at an event, a contributor to an online webinar, or an author in sb magazine, there are many ways to share your expertise and insights.
Take the opportunity to position yourself as a leading voice in your field, contribute to professional development across the network, and help shape the future of sports and leisure facility design and operation.
