PLAY PADDEL SMASH FUTURE at Maker Faire Rome 2023

Only a couple of weeks to go before the 11th event happens in Rome, here’s another update of what to expect at this years event.

#MFR2023 Overview

The significant innovation for the 2023 edition will be the creation of an entire 10,000 square meters pavilion entirely dedicated to sport. “PADDEL SMASH FUTURE” is the proposed format during these three exciting days in collaboration with Padel Trend Ltd. Since its first edition at Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition, the theme of Healthcare & Wellbeing has been the protagonist of an exhibition area of the event.

In this inaugural edition, thanks to these strategic partners and organizers of Padel Trend Expo – the world’s first and only fair entirely dedicated to Padel – the PLAY Pavilion was able to engage major brands operating in emerging and innovative sports sectors.

An expo area to promote cutting-edge equipment and apparel, with products that leverage the principles of biomechanics to improve performance and facilitate training. Furthermore, brands that, through knowledge and constant research, continue to enable uninterrupted evolution in innovative materials for courts and installation, all united by a common denominator: sustainability.

A total of five state-of-the-art courts will be set up: two Padel courts and one dedicated to Pickleball, another sport of undeniable trend! And the other two courts? They will be true novelties dedicated to the youngest, mini courts to entertain the little ones in the two most inclusive sports of the moment.

But the inclusivity of sport will also emerge in the numerous activities proposed and led by Saverio Palmieri, a Padel champion and official technical commentator for Sky Sport for Word Padel Tour and Premier Padel. For example, the exclusive presentation of the mixed Padel event “Gender Wall,” organized by the Italian Culture and Sport Association (AiCS) and promoted by its National Gender Equality Commission. This event will take place on November 25, 2023, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, with the aim of promoting the achievement of effective gender equality. Additionally, there will be an amateur tournament with the participation of territorial clubs, where the winners will play the final match with Champions and VIPs.

A weekend where the Padel community will join the thousands of Maker Faire visitors, involving them in a unique and exciting experience through playful activities and clinics with great Masters such as Gustavo Spector. Also, communicating the latest news and astounding results of these sports with leaders in the Padel and Pickleball target audience, who will alternate in the panels of the Main Stage at Maker Faire.
