World Skate announces artistic seminar and athletes camps in Italy
World Skate is sending its artistic seminar-and-camp format back to Italy in December 2026, after Buenos Aires drew more than 1,000 participants from 17 countries.
RSFI posted on 25 July 2026 that World Skate’s Artistic International Seminar & Athletes Camps will return to Italy in December 2026, putting another high-level education block into the sport’s international pipeline. The notice appeared in RSFI’s artistic-news section, alongside other federation items that help shape the Indian artistic calendar.
The Italy stop is not a stand-alone camp. World Skate has used the seminar-and-camp format as a recurring development window for artistic skating, with prior editions built around judges, technical specialists, coaches and athletes. In 2023, the Artistic International Seminar and Camp ran in Venice Mestre and Spinea from 17 November to 26 November, and a World Skate bulletin said the seminar was for judges, technical specialists and coaches while the athletes’ camp was staged in Spinea, Venice, Italy. In 2024, the federation kept the same model in Venice and Spinea, with the judges, technical specialists and coaches seminar scheduled in Venice from 25 to 28 November, free-skating camps in Spinea from 22 to 24 November, and dance camps from 28 November to 1 December.
That structure makes the 2026 Italy edition most useful for skaters and staff already operating in serious competition pathways. Elite prospects and national-program skaters stand to gain the most from the athlete side of the program, because the camps are built for technical repetition, event-specific preparation and direct work in the disciplines that matter most heading into a new season. Coaches and officials also have a clear lane: World Skate’s 2023 bulletin identified the seminar audience as judges, technical specialists and coaches, while World Skate Europe has described its own artistic seminar as a way to help participants work together to improve the sport.
The scale of the program grew further in 2025, when World Skate moved the Artistic International Seminar and Camp to Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 1 to 13 December. The federation said more than 1,000 coaches, officials and athletes from 17 countries attended that Buenos Aires gathering, which it called a flagship artistic roller skating education initiative. That makes the Italy announcement part of a proven international circuit rather than a one-off camp listing.
The timing also fits the wider 2026 build-out. World Skate’s Executive Board met on 10 December 2025 to review and approve the 2026 budget and global event calendar, and the federation’s archive lists multiple 2026 Artistic World Cup stops, including Buenos Aires, Cesena and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. World Skate has described the 2026 Artistic World Cup as a new era for artistic skating, and the return to Italy gives the sport another centralized stage for technical standards, coaching alignment and athlete preparation before the season accelerates.
