More than 60 products participated in the Product Showcase
this year. With pHin by ConnectedYard, Inc. earning the best NEW
product award and FlowStar Standard Skimmer with Ozone by
AquaStar Pool Products, Inc. awarded best GREEN product.
CEC presented their newest product, cFloat, an advanced
system that collects key information from pools allowing the
integration of water chemistry and technology with data accessible
in real time on a smartphone. Artesian Spas displayed new 2016
hot tubs, including the Quail Ridge and Platinum Elite. Barbeques
Galore and West Coast Customs, the team behind the former
MTV hit "Pimp My Ride", officially revealed the "Ride On Que"
truck at the PSP Expo. The customized, transforming truck with a
custom-built island that holds all of the grills, doors, refrigerators
and burners that Barbeques Galore offers. Add in the lights and
music and this was a 'must-see' display. In addition to these unique
experiences, the show floor featured the debut of the Casual
Furniture Marketplace with its 13 exhibitors and taking 4,300 sq. ft.
of the Expo floor, it is obvious why this is one of the fastest growing
segments of the outdoor market.
Attendees of this year's PSP Expo had an unparalleled
opportunity for learning, through over 40 brand new conference
sessions. Our partners at APSP, Genesis, CPO, ASA, and NPC
also produced pre-conference education content that was well-
received and highly attended. Additional Expo floor education in
the Hayward School of Business and the Splash Talks drew the
largest crowds to date.
