Be sure to save the date for the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo, co-located with Deck Expo, taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center November 10-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The show may well be the largest pool and spa industry event of the year — by our last count, more than 500 exhibitors planned to attend.
In addition to exposure to thousands of products, and an unsurpassed educational package, countless networking opportunities abound.
Festivities begin with the Monday night welcome party at AYU Dayclub at Resorts World, a short walk from the convention center. Attendees and vendors can mingle with colleagues and enjoy food, drinks, and entertainment at a Las Vegas hotspot.
Tuesday night features the Pool NationAwards, which will encompass 24 different categories, including Pool Guy and Pool Girl of the Year, Sales Rep of the Year, Pool Builder of the Year, Variable Speed Pump of the Year and many more. These pool pros are industry experts and represent the best of the best.
