The SW Pool and Spa Show and
IPSSA Houston join forces to develop
a dynamic, first-class regional show
to be held March 5-8, 2008.

The APSP chapter owned SW Pool and Spa show has partnered
with the IPSSA Houston chapter to create a dynamic 2008 regional
show.  A full spectrum of builder and service technician certification classes, advanced builder classes, CPO, and basic and advanced industry and professional development seminars are available.  A live demo pavillion featuring service and builder manufacturer demonstrations will highlight the event. Over 150+ exhibit booths are expected.  

Dinner Meeting
At the contract table from left to right: Doug Dinkins, IPSSA Houston Treasurer, Rob Traugott, APSP Houston President, Jim Jacobsmeyer, IPSSA Houston President, Spencer Barrett, IPSSA Houston Secretary, Gary Barnes, APSP Houston Board Member, David Skrehot, APSP Houston Board Member.

The terms of the show agreement are mutually beneficial.  Along with financial compensation to IPSSA Houston, the SW Pool and Spa show has agreed to provide APSP member pricing to ALL IPSSA members across the US (with proof of valid membership).    As a result ALL IPSSA members will receive complimentary access to the show floor and the professional development and industry seminars.  Also, Tech I and Tech II classes are offered at APSP member pricing, which results in hundreds of dollars in savings to the IPSSA member.  IPSSA is also provided complimentary booth space at the show.  IPSSA Houston is to oversee the management of this booth.

In return IPSSA Houston will manage the live demo pavillion,
featuring the most sought after service demonstrations in the
industry. The chapter will also proudly organize basic and 
advanced service seminars that address hot topic questions
service professionals are asking.

APSP Region 3 and IPSSA Houston look forward to a long and
prosperous working relationship. For more information on the
