The FINA World Aquatics Convention (FWAC) provides countless opportunities for organisations of all sizes to seize new international business.

We spoke with four organisations who will be attending FWAC for the 4th time. Here’s why they participate and their top networking tips.

arena participate at FWAC because…Swimming has been the lifeblood of arena for over 40 years, and the FINA World Aquatics Convention is the ideal environment to meet the leaders in the aquatic realm to discuss the future of the sport and its cutting-edge developments. It also provides an opportunity to connect with our partners, and to develop new synergies in this collaborative setting. With Canada an extremely important market for us, it is a pleasure to be present here in Windsor with our commercial partner @f3distribution.
