The aqua EXPO, formerly known as the Aqua Expo Days, is a renowned exhibition in Dortmund's heart dedicated to the captivating world of aquatics. Held annually, mainly in October, it has become a pivotal gathering spot for aquatic enthusiasts from across Europe since its inception in 2014..

The event is orchestrated by DPS-Verlag & Messen, a firm boasting considerable expertise in the media and publishing sector. Their combination of knowledge and fervour for aquatics shines through in the exhibition's quality and diversity.

The aqua EXPO beckons a multitude of exhibitors from the aquatics realm to the striking halls of Galopprennbahn Dortmund. They display an extensive array of products and services, spanning from accessories to marine creatures and exquisite aquatic plants.

Key attractions of the exhibition include the "German Betta Contest," where pedigree fighting fish are showcased in a riveting beauty contest, and the distinguished Aquascaping live event, "The Art of the Planted Aquarium," celebrating the artistry of planted aquariums. The aqua EXPO Symposium enhances the programme with specialist lectures and workshops, addressing both freshwater and marine aquatics.

The exhibition primarily attracts industry professionals, but also welcomes hobbyists and those with a keen interest in the marine world. Its varied content ensures a rich source of information and inspiration for both connoisseurs and novices.

Hosted at the Galopprennbahn Dortmund, the venue stands out not only for its vastness and contemporary design but also for its prime location. A trip to the aqua EXPO offers not only an immersion into the aquatics realm but also a memorable experience in one of Dortmund's most unique event spaces.
