For pool service business owners and technicians whose offerings include renovation, resurfacing, tile/ coping repair and high value service upgrades — including plaster, color pigment durability, shell remediation — the NPC Annual Conference is the specialist event you don’t want to miss. It takes place February 18 20, 2026 at the Westin Anaheim Resort, in Anaheim, CA.

While the National Plasterer’s Council Conference is tailored toward the builders’ side of the pool industry, this event is still important for service business growth.

This event is unlike general trade shows, zeroing in on interior surfaces of in ground swimming pools and spas — including plaster, coatings, tile, coping, remediation and renovation work. If your service business includes such scopes (or you want to build that niche), this is your deep dive.

The education is advanced. Attendees will find material that goes beyond routine maintenance: seminars will delve into specialized surface science, material innovations, color durability, pigment stability, surface failure diagnostics, and renovation workflows.

You’ll also meet the contractors, manufacturers and suppliers that feed high value service contracts — giving you opportunities to position your business for referrals, partnerships, or stand-alone premium service offerings.

And for service companies looking to move beyond basic maintenance and become full service providers (including resurface/refurbish), attending helps you build credibility, skills and vendor relationships.

The NPC Conference is the “renovation and surface specialist’s essential” trade gathering: If you’re doing (or want to do) plaster, tile, coping upgrades and premium contract work, this event is where the industry’s surface system decision makers assemble.

While general trade shows help you compete broadly, specialist conferences like this allow you to differentiate your business in a narrower but higher margin segment — something that can boost profitability and reputation.

By devoting time to the National Plasterers Council Annual Conference, your business invests in a high value niche—and gains the surface technology, material science and premium service insights that many service businesses overlook.
