The Annual Desert Pool & Spa Show, sponsored by IPSSA Region 8, will return to the Phoenix Convention Center January 18-20. Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix within walking distance of major hotels, the Phoenix Sun’s arena, and many restaurants, the show will offer a great time for all vendors and attendees.
This is a show specifically for pool service professionals. In 2008, Region 8 of the Independent Pool and Spa Service Association created a tabletop show for the swimming pool technician by bringing together the pool service professional and the different pool manufacturers and product representatives in the industry. The success of that first tabletop has led to what is now called the Desert Pool and Spa Show.
From that small beginning of a couple of dozen vendors and numerous volunteers, the show has grown to 60 vendors and manufacturers. The Desert Pool and Spa Show has continued to support pool professionals with the newest items in the industry. Education has been at the forefront of the show, and numerous classes in every aspect of the industry have been offered to help keep the pool professional up to date on the changing landscape in the swimming pool universe.
The show focuses on education because Region 8 believes that education leads to professional, knowledgeable diagnosis of pool and spa problems. As an educated diagnostician, your time is worth more, which means more profit for you as well as happier customers.
Exhibitors have already signed up at this event to showcase their products and services.
The exhibit hall opens Friday, January 19, from 4 to 7 p.m. and again on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
