Attendees of the 2012 International Pool/Spa/Patio Expo (November 6–8 in New Orleans, Louisiana) will be among the first to gain knowledge of the best pool markets in the country by registering for the conference seminar U.S. Pool Market Reports. Held on November 7, from 1:30 to 3 p.m., the seminar will also cover the top pool builders/contractors nationally (as well as in key local markets) and the consumer profile of the households most likely to own pools or install new pools.

Lindsay Roberts, director of the show, says, “By attending this class, attendees and exhibitors will learn valuable research data collected on consumer spending habits, as related to the multibillion-dollar pool/spa industry. Registrants will also receive a local market report valued at $300.”

Tracking 20% larger than last year, the show floor will include more than 1,400 booths of manufacturers and suppliers of all sizes, displaying products, services, and equipment for the pool, spa, and backyard industry. Exhibitors include Pentair, Hayward, Zodiac, Master Spas, Waterway Plastics, BioGuard, Bullfrog Spas, Saber Grills, The Outdoor GreatRoom Company, and Napoleon Appliance Corp., among many more.
