Registration is now open for the 2016 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo. This year, the exposition returns to New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center for the first time since 2012. The conference program will be held October 30 to November 4, and the expo hall will be openNov. 2-4, 2016.

Last year’s exposition drew 11,556 total attendees. This year’s exposition will feature over 525 companies in 137,600 square feet of exhibit space.

“We’ve noticed a shift in attendee demand which mirrored the success of last year’s Casual Furniture Marketplace pavilion, which is returning this year,” says Tracy Garcia, Show Director for Informa Exhibitions, owner of the expo. “The retail segment has grown and those buyers have expressed opportunity to add categories like casual furniture into their product mix.”

Products displayed at the event go beyond pools, spas and hot tubs. Residential backyard living products also include water features, casual furniture, barbecues, grills, lighting, landscape décor, hearth, outdoor lighting, and more.

“One distinctive quality of the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is the accessibility to a myriad of products for all industry sectors. From outdoor living retailers to commercial pool builders and servicers, it’s all here,” Garcia says.

In addition to products serving the residential market, attendees will be able to source an array of products geared to the commercial market including pumps, motors, filters, heaters, sanitation systems, and maintenance equipment.
