The world’s most important B2B padel trade show returns to Barcelona from May 26 to 28, 2026: Padel Mi Amor will also be there with its own 24-square-meter booth

Barcelona is preparing to host the third edition of the Padel World Summit, the world’s most important B2B padel trade show, scheduled for May 26–28, 2026, at the Gran Via exhibition center of Fira de Barcelona. With over 6,000 visitors expected, more than 150 exhibiting companies, 90 speakers across the Global Padel Conference and the Innovation Arena, and 10 courts set up inside the pavilion for demonstrations, exhibition matches, and product testing: the figures for this edition confirm that the event has now reached a scale and significance that no other trade show in the sector can match.

The exhibition area will feature companies from around the world, including manufacturers of rackets and balls, leading brands in software development and facility management, and the top brands in technical apparel and accessories. Among the exhibitors will be Padel Mi Amor, which will have a dedicated booth to showcase the latest additions to its line of technical padel apparel and accessories to an international audience.

Let’s take a closer look at the program, the main events scheduled, and all the new features of this year’s edition!

Padel World Summit 2026: The Program for the Third Edition

Organized by Fira de Barcelona —one of Europe’s leading trade show operators—in collaboration with the International Padel Cluster, the Padel World Summit was created with the goal of providing a space where manufacturers, distributors, investors, brands, and industry professionals can meet, exchange ideas, and build business relationships. In just three editions, it has already become the leading event for those operating in the international padel market, with a steady increase in the number of exhibitors, speakers, and trade visitors that attests to its ever-growing importance.

The program for this edition is structured around the theme“Next Padel: Vision, Partnerships, and Transformative Power,” with content organized into six major thematic areas:

• global and institutional expansion;
• sustainable business models;
• strategic partnerships;
• technological innovation;
• talent development and professionalization;
• The social and emotional impact of padel as a lifestyle.

Each area will then be organized into sessions, roundtables, and presentations led by more than 90 international experts, spread across the Global Padel Conference and the Innovation Arena, offering participants opportunities for learning and in-depth analysis, as well as a comprehensive overview of the global padel business ecosystem.

The Global Padel Conference and the Innovation Arena: Over 90 Speakers to Forecast Trends in Padel

Once again this year, the centerpiece of the event will be the Global Padel Conference, a conference where more than forty international experts will discuss economic growth, business models, and global expansion strategies. The Conference is not intended merely as an informational event: its goal is to anticipate trends, facilitate the exchange of business models, and foster the formation of strategic partnerships among industry leaders. This format has already proven, in previous editions, to be effective in fostering lasting connections among participants.

Speakers already confirmed for this edition include some of the most prominent figures in the field, such as Bill Ullman, president of the United States Padel Association and co-founder of the Anglo-American Padel Cup, and Mark Hewlett, head of Soul Padel, who will share his experience in developing padel centers in the British market—one of the most dynamic in Europe in terms of new investments and openings. Former world No. 1 Inés Álvarez will address the topic of padel’s development at the university level in Argentina and the United States, while Benjamin Hanley will present a surprising case study at the summit: the integration of padel into the British Army, a concrete example of how sports can become a tool for cohesion and well-being.

Patricio Misitrano, consultant and founder of the Racket Social Club, will moderate a session dedicated to the delicate balance between accessibility, quality standards, and the strategic value of padel as a sport open to everyone. The conference will also feature an exclusive interview with Ignacio Soto Borja, vice president of the International Padel Federation and president of the Mexican Padel Federation.

Alongside the Global Padel Conference will be the Innovation Arena, a space designed to give a voice to startups, new technologies applied to the world of padel, and emerging investments. Over fifty additional presentations bring the total number of speakers to ninety, transforming the summit into a true event featuring content of high strategic value, capable of covering every aspect of the industry.

In addition to the conference, this year’s Padel World Summit will once again host the Play Arena, one of the event’s most distinctive features. For the 2026 edition, ten playing courts have been set up within the exhibition center, made available to exhibiting brands to organize product presentations, new collection launches, matches, and experiential activations designed to engage visitors in a direct and meaningful way.
