2026 NIRSA + IDEA World Conference & Campus Rec Expo
National Harbor, Maryland, 7–10 April. For the first time, NIRSA's Annual Conference and the IDEA Health & Fitness Association's World Convention ran as a single event — the NIRSA + IDEA World Conference & Campus Rec Expo, with more than 150 exhibitors on the floor and North America's campus recreation community walking the aisles.
It is hard to imagine a better-matched audience for us. University recreation departments plan facilities for thousands of students at every training level, and that is precisely the problem our patented weight-adjustment system solves: one outdoor station that adjusts to the user, instead of a row of fixed-resistance machines.
We showed the MB 7.108 and the ECO Line version of our Multi Bar MB 7.68. For a campus, the ECO Line is an ownership argument more than anything else: universities budget in decades, and this range is built to be owned that way — Hanit® recycled plastic and AISI 316L stainless steel, the alloy shipbuilders use, with no repainting and no rust treatment on the maintenance schedule and a 30-year warranty underneath it all. Northern winters or coastal humidity, the math holds.
The meetings off the stand mattered as much as the stand itself: we sat down with American distributors, and our work with our US distribution partner continues. The first ECO Line delivery for the US market is already in preparation.
