EXCITEMENT BUILDS AS PENTAIR COMMITS TO EXHIBIT
AT THE 2010 INTERNATIONAL POOL | SPA | PATIO EXPO
DALLAS – March 11, 2010 – With three weeks left until Space Draw begins, the 2010 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is off to a great start with the return of Pentair as a key exhibitor.
Taking place November 3 - 5, in the Bayside Halls at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, the show will offer pool/spa builders, retailers, service companies, designers and landscape architects a comprehensive preview of the entire backyard living marketplace.
“Pentair’s commitment to the show demonstrates their dedication to the industry,” said Donna Bellantone, Director of the Expo, “and their confidence that the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo will deliver the most valuable trade event in the backyard living industry.”
Pentair will co-sponsor the VGB Pavilion, a dedicated area on the show floor offering attendees an assortment of compliance-related product lines, such as anti-entrapment drain covers, safety devices, fences and more, in addition to a series of 30-minute vendor presentations.
Pentair will also host a Cocktail Reception for their key customers and the industry press. Taking place immediately after the show closes on Thursday, November 4, the reception will feature cocktails, light hors d’oeuvres and a preview of select products.
“Pentair’s return to the show is great news not only for the show, but for the entire industry,” said Bill Weber, APSP President and CEO, the show’s official sponsor. “The 2010 show promises to be another exciting, must-attend event for the pool, spa and backyard industry.”
Companies wanting to exhibit in the show should sign up now to participate in Space Draw which begins Thursday, April 1, at the Hanley Wood Exhibitions headquarters in Dallas. Exhibitors need not be present during the process as it takes place via phone and the website.
