DALLAS -- June 9, 2009 -- With the number of exhibiting companies reserving booth space in the recent Space Draw, the 2009 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo looks to be another exciting show.
Taking place November 16-18, in the Bayside Halls at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, the show will offer pool/spa builders, retailers and service companies a comprehensive preview of the entire backyard living marketplace.
"The International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is the best opportunity for backyard professionals to see such a vast array of all the latest products and technologies from leading suppliers around the world," said Donna Bellantone, Director of the Expo. "Attendees will have access to virtually every product category and price point."
More than 250 pool, spa and backyard manufacturers were assigned booth space last week, including Cal Spas, A.O. Smith, Arch Chemicals, Bio Guard, BioLab, Great American Merchandise & Events (GAME), King Tech, Marquis Spas, Lucite, Latham, BioNova Natural Pools, and SmartPool, just to name a few, with inquiries and booth reservations continuing to come in.
Exhibitors returning to the show after an absence of a year or more, include Jandy, a Zodiac Company, American Leak Detection, Oceanside Glasstile and Purity Pool, among others.
"For 2010 we have 3 key new product launches and know that the 2009 Int'l Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is our best opportunity to introduce them to the dealers and showcase their features," said David Nibler, Vice President of Marketing, Zodiac Pool Systems. "We look forward to the 2009 show to kick off the pool season for 2010."
"We were very pleased with the leads we received last year at the Int'l Pool | Spa | Patio Expo", said James Robyn, CEO of BioNova Natural Pools USA, "and we're looking forward to our participation in the Genesis 3 Pavilion this year."
Also participating in Space Draw were first-time exhibitors, including EnviroSwim, Yodle, Smart Service Software, Latin Accents Tiles, PoolSpool, Sunheat, Vacless, and Techflo Products.
"As a first time exhibitor, PoolSpool is looking forward to the 2009 Int'l Pool | Spa | Patio Expo," said Lothar J. Zell, President, PoolSpool LLC. "We anticipate making lots of new connections and generating lots of strong leads."
"That so many companies are committing to booth space demonstrates that the industry is alive and well," said Bill Weber, APSP President and CEO, the show's official sponsor. "This promises to be another exciting, must-see event for the pool, spa and backyard industry."
