2026 INLAND EMPIRE POOL EXPO
The Inland Empire Pool Expo returns in 2026 as one of Southern California’s most trusted and longest‑running regional events for pool and spa professionals. Founded in 1988 by IPSSA members Jim Ciccone and Kirk Gillette, the expo was built to bring service technicians, manufacturers, and product representatives together in a hands‑on, community‑driven environment. Over the decades, it has grown into a must‑attend gathering for pros across the Inland Empire and beyond.
