PSP/Deck Expo is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2022. The show was originally founded in 1957 as an event focused on pools and spas. It has grown 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. PSP/Deck Expo is committed to running an environmentally responsible event. This month, the event’s home for 2022, the West Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, will begin a solar panel project. Upon completion, the venue will be LEED Gold Certified. Currently, the space has exterior lights, call boxes and sanitizer stations that are solar-powered.
