The national industry trade show will go live for 2021.

The International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is scheduled for Nov. 13-18 in Dallas. Once again, it will co-locate with the Deck Expo.

“We understand how important the PSP/Deck Expo is to the industry and the need to stay informed and connected,” said Ray Giovine, group director for Informa Markets and the PSP/Deck Expo. “The industry has experienced a banner year, and we’re looking forward to celebrating that while keeping an eye on what’s to come.”

In addition to a keynote address and returning features such as the Welcome Party, BBQ Bash and Pool Prize Party, this year’s convention will feature new events, including deck education and a Grill + Chill area to highlight deck building products, outdoor kitchens and grills, and patio furniture.

The Million Dollar Pool Design Challenge, where entrants submit a completely designed and rendered project tailored to the specifications of a fictional family, is also set to take place. In all, Informa expects more than 100 education opportunities.

To ensure safety, organizers will implement the Informa AllSecure safety and hygiene system. Protocols required by government authorities and the convention center also will be observed, the company said.

Registration for the event will open this month, while hotel reservations can be made from the housing block now.
