1–3 December in Colli del Tronto: new venue, extended programme and surprises for pool industry professionals.
The most anticipated event in the pool industry is back with significant new features. Convegno d’Autunno 2026, the training event organised by Professione Acqua and open exclusively to sector professionals, will be held this year in Colli del Tronto, in the province of Ascoli Piceno, at Hotel Casale.
Located just 4 km from the motorway exit, halfway between Ascoli Piceno and the Adriatic coast, the four-star property has been developed from a beautifully restored historic farmhouse and houses the largest conference centre in the region, three restaurants and sports facilities.
What’s new
The event runs from 1 to 3 December 2026 and, alongside the venue — which changes with every edition — introduces three further substantial changes compared to previous years.
The first is the addition of 1 December, a day dedicated to corporate road shows only. Companies wishing to host a stop on their own touring events can do so at the same venue, allowing professionals to combine multiple commitments in a single trip. Acquanet, Italy’s association of pool builders, will also hold its own activities on the same day.
The second change concerns the schedule: the morning of 2 December, the official start of the event, will be reserved exclusively for registered delegates — not free visitors — to ensure full focus on technical and regulatory content. The afternoon will be given over to the exhibition area, with two special moments yet to be revealed.
The third variation is the gala dinner on the evening of 2 December, this year included in the registration fee along with lunches. This is not a standard business dinner, but a standalone event in its own right.
Registrations will open during the summer, and a preferential rate agreement with Hotel Casale will be available. Updates on the website of Professione Acqua.
