The Arnold Sports Festival is the largest, multi-sport festival in the world. Athletic competitions, including 42 sports and 18,000 athletes from 80 countries, take place over four days in Columbus, Ohio. For nearly 25 years, this sport-fitness festival has grown to include competitions and activities located at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Veteran’s Memorial, Nationwide Arena, and the French Field House at the Ohio State University.

Along with event and equipment resources, our Creative Services department designs and develops promotional videos, commercials, event graphics and websites to inform, entertain and enlighten the nearly 180,000 sports fans who attend the weekend.
