There are lots of reasons to attend the Western Pool and Spa Show, slated to take place February 6-8, in Long Beach, CA, and the $20,000 cash prize is just one of them!

That’s right. Li’l Algy, the show’s mascot, is giving away $20,000 to one lucky pool professional. The winner is drawn from finalists who enter over the three days of the show. And if you don’t win the cold, hard cash, your chances are even better of winning one of the more than $10,000 in other prizes at the end of the show. We’re talking about valuable items like heaters, pumps, filters, automatic cleaners, and more!

But seriously, if you’re planning on attending the Western Show, the prizes are just the icing on the cake.

You are probably going for the education. Because it’s no secret that the Western Show offers one of the finest educational conferences in the industry.

The Western Show has among the industry's largest seminar schedules with classes for beginners to advanced service professionals. They have the Pool Nation Boot Camp. They have Watershape University. And there are also plenty of classes for builders, and all three days have classes in Spanish.

Let’s not forget the exhibit hall, which is massive and is open only to registered industry members. Already, close to 100 exhibitors are planning to attend.

And then there’s the venue, which is a truly perfect place to take the whole family. You have the California coast. Perfect weather. A short drive to Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, and the Los Angeles Zoo. Walking distance to the Long Beach Aquarium, a wealth of shops, and endless eclectic restaurants. A 5-minute bus ride to the historic Queen Mary, a luxury cruise ship from a bygone era.
