Thank you to all who attended and exhibited at this year’s show. Despite the recent economic downturn, this year’s show proved to be a great success! In total, 11,324 industry professionals came to Atlantic City this year, slightly up from last year. Attendees were treated to a preview of all of the new and exciting products, services and technology on display throughout the show floor, the New Product Boardwalk and the brand-new Silent Auction Area. The weather was absolutely beautiful this year, and nothing but positive comments were heard from the 403 exhibiting companies, occupying over 100,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space. The numbers looked great this year and that’s obviously good for our industry. People came to the show and that means they are out there doing business and confident that things are turning around.

We would like to give a special thank you to all who donated and bidded on items in our First Annual Silent Auction. Attendees were invited to bid on items ranging from pool and spa products to tickets for 2 to anywhere in the continental US. Only show exhibitors were eligible to donate products to the auction and many took advantage of this area for exposure of their products and to draw people to their booths. All proceeds from the Auction will benefit the newly founded NESPA Foundation for the Advancement of Education and Professionalism whose mission is to “enhance professionalism of the pool and spa industry through education and research”. The NESPA foundation was pleased to announce that they received over 125 items from donors and raised over $34,000 for the foundation.
