The exhilaration in the Pickleball world is palpable. That’s because a national Pickleball convention is coming to Las Vegas!
That’s right, this first-ever Pickleball convention will be held from June 6-June 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. And you can bet several Pickleball franchisors will be there to get in on the action.
The World Pickleball Convention & Conference
The inaugural convention will include a dynamic group of pickleball industry moguls, corporate purchasers, proficient and amateur players, as well as celebrities and aficionados. And lots of Pickleball merchandise.
From a Press Release:
“There will be something for everyone at the convention including the Exhibition Marketplace, which will feature a trade show floor with hundreds of cutting edge pickleball products, apparel, footwear and accessories, as well as everything from franchising & business opportunities to exhibitors who support the pickleball industry in virtually every capacity,” said George Domaceti, CEO of the World Pickleball Convention. “There will be daily runway fashion shows, as well as demonstration stages to experience new advances in equipment, paddles, accessories, and so much more,” continued Domaceti.
In tandem with the trade show, the exhibit floor will house several demonstration courts where participants can test novel products before placing orders. Additionally, clinics and instructional sessions will be conducted by Salome Davidze, the top-ranked female singles player worldwide, according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP).
The Pickleball Convention Keynote Speaker And More
Setting the tone for this convention will be the keynote address by Robert Quicksilver, the Chairman of the Board for USA Pickleball, the sport’s governing body.
In addition, there will be several in-person sessions delivered by esteemed industry leaders and even celebrities who have ventured into the realm of pickleball entrepreneurship.
These sessions aim to provide invaluable insights into the present state and future trajectory of pickleball, encompassing technological advancements, market trends, and business prospects. Hopefully that will include Pickleball franchising.
This Is Great Timing For A Pickleball Conference
It’s an exhilarating period for pickleball, and the convention serves as a platform for disseminating knowledge, fostering connections, and propelling the industry forward.
Beyond the trade show floor, an indoor tournament sanctioned by USA Pickleball will take place, featuring professional and amateur players competing on cutting-edge, cushioned courts. The tournament will encompass participants of all skill levels, age groups, and divisions.
The historic event, sponsored by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, is slated for June 6-9, 2024, and will be hosted in the southern wing of the Las Vegas Convention Center. A comprehensive affair, it guarantees an all-encompassing experience suitable for everyone in attendance. Go here to learn more and register.
