Schedule at a glance

Saturday January 11: Show Seminars, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Exhibit Hall 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

The Annual Desert Pool & Spa Show, sponsored by IPSSA Region 8, is moving to the Mesa Convention Center in Mesa, Arizona, for one day only on January 11.

In the Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale metropolitan area, one-third of property owners choose to enhance their outdoor spaces with pools. Join the most well-rounded service professionals in the industry for a day of swimming pool enlightenment.

What started as a small tabletop event has now grown into the 17th Annual Desert Pool & Spa Show in 2025. From just a couple dozen vendors and many volunteers, the show has expanded to feature more than 100 vendors and manufacturers. The Desert Pool & Spa Show continues to support pool professionals by showcasing the latest industry products.

The show emphasizes education because Region 8 believes that knowledge is key to diagnosing pool and spa issues professionally and accurately. As a more educated diagnostician, your time becomes more valuable, which translates to higher profits and happier customers.
