Southwest Pool & Spa Show slated Feb. 14-17

You don’t want to miss the Southwest Pool & Spa Show, taking place February 14-17 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Because in addition to a totally free educational conference, a great location, and a growing list of exhibitors, networking opportunities abound from the first day to the last.

The show will kick off with the new Industry Networking Reception, taking place Thursday, February 15, 2024, 5-7:30 p.m. in Hall 4. At the end of a long day of industry education and training, come on over to the exhibit hall for a cold beverage and light snacks and some relaxing time with the industry’s leading vendors. Get a first-hand look at the exhibits, catch up with industry friends and colleagues, and start conversations that will last throughout the show.

On Friday, February 16, there’s a Networking Lunch, 12-1 p.m. in Hall 4. Both Friday and Saturday will feature a free networking lunch in the exhibit hall for both attendees and exhibitors. Stop, take a break, grab a bite to eat, and then spend the rest of the afternoon seeing the latest products, services, applications, and ideas from the industry’s top vendors. You may be able to make a few deals along the way. Check the schedule of events for lunch times on both Friday and Saturday.

Then there’s Friday’s Happy Hour, 1- 2 p.m., in Hall 4. Join your friends in the exhibit hall on Friday afternoon for an adult beverage as they tap cold kegs of beer to refresh you and your team as you work your way through the exhibit hall. There’s nothing like a refreshing beverage as you see what new ideas, new products, new solutions, and new opportunities are available for your company.

Friday evening brings the Southwest Pool & Spa Show Awards Gala from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Get out on Friday evening as the show celebrates the best, brightest, and most innovative designs from across the Southwest and Mexico at the 2024 Awards Gala. From the expanded Outdoor Living categories to the traditional pool and spa designs, you’ll see and experience it all. Celebrate with the winners, and start your creative juices flowing as you plan for future projects. The Awards Gala is one of the most anticipated industry networking events of the year.

On Saturday afternoon, they are at it again with another Happy Hour from 1 to 2 p.m., Level 1, Hall D. Wrap up your experience at the 2024 Southwest Pool & Spa Show. Stop by for a cold beverage and visit with vendors as you make final decisions, nail down your best deals, and take advantage of last-day show specials. The last day of the Southwest Pool & Spa Show is the best day.
