The IAPPF International Conference and Expo at AB Show

Welcome to the IAPPF 2026 International Conference and Expo to AB Show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Nov. 17-19.

The IAPPF will host its full two-day conference within AB Show, delivering dozens of sessions led by leading industry experts, facility operators and suppliers focused on the business of building and running successful pickleball and padel facilities. The IAPPF will also expand the AB Show expo floor, bringing in dozens of suppliers and service providers from the pickleball and padel industries — from court builders and surfacing to equipment, technology and operations partners.

The partnership joins two of the fastest-growing sports in the country with an event built for facility decision-makers. Produced by Athletic Business, founded in 1977, AB Show is the largest comprehensive trade show for athletics, fitness, recreation and military professionals. The event averages more than 2,000 attendees from all 50 states and pairs an expo hall of more than 200 exhibitors with a conference featuring 100-plus seminars and 100-plus speakers. Its audience includes owners, managers and program directors who drive capital improvement projects of $50 million or more — the buyers pickleball and padel suppliers most want to reach.
