Spa The PSP/Deck Expo was organized by Informa Markets and included the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, North American Deck and Railing Association, and the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.
The show floor was alive with energy, as it brought together over 9,900 professionals.

Kris Osterbusch is the Show Director. “PSP/Deck Expo is the largest industry meeting place. It fosters collaboration by fostering a wide range of brands exhibiting and providing extensive learning opportunities.” The event is the place where attendees and suppliers come together to make new connections, forge partnerships, and create deals. The expo floor was alive with energy and buyers were able to explore the latest products and technologies in all areas of pool, spa, patio and decking.
PSP/Deck Expo brought back interactive Power Panels to the conference, which covered four key topics: Retail, Builder, Service and Decking. Experts shared their insights on the latest technologies, economic trends, and the state of the industry. The Decking Power Panel was held at the new Outdoor Living Stage, and included decking professionals who discussed trends, challenges and future solutions.
Deck Expo is more than an event. It’s a lively heartbeat for our industry. John Lea, NADRA Member and Speaker at four educational sessions, including The Decking Power Panel, shares this. It is where decking professionals come together to form not only partnerships but also lasting friendships.
