“Managing a pool, spa, or outdoor living business requires time and effort. For our customers to participate with PSP/Deck Expo is a real commitment – but one with year-long benefits,” said Kris Osterbusch, Show Director for PSP/Deck Expo. “We want to make sure they receive the best possible value from their time. With the momentum going into the 2022 event, we’re looking to duplicate that as much as possible by remaining in Las Vegas for an additional year.”
The Las Vegas Convention Center will be the 2023 home of PSP/Deck Expo, with the event taking place from November 10-15, 2023.
The show is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2022. PSP/Deck Expo was originally founded in 1957 as an event focused on pools and spas. It grew over time, including a co-location with Deck Expo in 2020. Today, PSP/Deck Expo actively collaborates across the entire pool, spa, backyard, and decking industries to provide participants with the most comprehensive array of networking, education, and technology available.
