The arrival of one of the most anticipated events in the world of paddle is getting closer. Every week we get to know new details of an appointment that promises to mark a before and after in the way of understanding this wonderful sport. Padel World Press has been able to talk to its top managers, who have revealed to us how this project was born.
Padel World Press .- Barely two months before the Ifema 7 Pavilion becomes the venue for a very special event. Just two months before brands, manufacturers, federations, clubs, media, fans and, ultimately, all those who are part of the family of this sport enjoy three days in which the paddle will be the only and great protagonist.
Juan de Parra, Executive Director of the Show, answered the call from Padel World Press and, in a pleasant conversation, he told us how an idea that is about to become a reality arose: “It all started when Javier Mangas entered the world of the organization of events and congresses. For two consecutive years, and as head of Extrem Events, he was one of the organizers of the Bike and Motorcycle Show at the most important fairground in Extremadura (IFEBA). Both editions had a great acceptance. By chance in life, we met through Alberto Hernández, a friend we have in common in the world of motorcycles. From then on, we began to coincide in numerous events and to go out together on a motorcycle ”.
Step by step, that relationship intensified and produced the expected outcome: “One day, while we were having coffee, Javier told me that he had had an idea on his mind for some time. He told me that, for two months, the project of launching the XNUMXst International Paddle Hall had been going through his head. I took a napkin and made a strategy ... The following week I called and made an appointment in my office to develop an action plan. As we talked, we believed more in this initiative and, therefore, we decided to carry it out together ”.
With the machinery set in motion, the chronology of the most remarkable events for them would be the following: "The first step was to present a project to Ifema and close a date with them. We had to change it after a couple of months because they told us that in MadridGolf they wanted to dedicate a space to the paddle. The next stop took us to Makin'Events. Through our friend Carlos Córdoba we met Vanessa Martínez and her company, which will organize this event with us and, from then on, they became the heads ".
Very expressive and communicative person, Juan de Parra shows great optimism every time he talks about the Padel Hall: "We are very excited about the good acceptance that this project is having on the part of exhibiting brands, federations, clubs and players, making a mention special to the institutional support of the International Paddle Federation and other territorial federations. I also want to thank the media and the people linked to the world of paddle for the support they offer us on a daily basis ".
With an integrating character and with the purpose that no one is left without finding his space in this expected event, he wanted to invite all the fans of this sport to go through the Hall, which will run from the 30 from May to the 1 in June: " It is not a closed event; is a meeting point for and for people in the world of paddle tennis, an open meeting for those companies and people who want to add value to this sport and put their two cents to take the paddle to the place where it deserves to be. We only intend to be one more channel within this value chain to help companies achieve their goals in both the national and international markets. "
