SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show 2016 on the Gold Coast 85 per cent sold

Even though the SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show is 10 months away, it has almost been sold out.

The show is to be held in a bigger, single hall at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) and will have more floorspace than the previous show at Jupiters, which was the biggest ever Australian swimming pool and spa show.

The 2016 event seems likely to beat that record. It will be held on August 17 & 18, 2016.

SPLASH! sales manager Karen Jaques is urging anyone interested in exhibiting to contact her as soon as possible to avoid missing out on their preferred size and location of exhibition space, or potentially missing out altogether.

Meanwhile, SPLASH! has put out a call for papers for its education program for the Gold Coast 2016 event.

The seminars held alongside the exhibition will address key issues in the pool industry, marketing opportunities and new technologies. Papers will be selected on the basis of quality of abstract, originality, topicality, relevance and providing solutions to issues.

Selection of papers will be made by the Program Committee, whose decision will be final. Sessions are generally 40 minutes in duration, with additional time for questions. Submission deadline is 26th February 2016.
