World Pickleball Convention Returns to Palm Beach

West Palm Beach, FL – In 2021, the National Pickleball Expo made its debut in South Florida to a tune of 70 exhibitors and approximately 1,400 attendees during a two-day show when pickleball was just beginning its unprecedented growth. Since then, quite a few things have changed in pickleball as well as the expo.

Pickleball has since expanded its reach, going from an estimated 1.5 million players to over 38 million having played this year.  There are now more pickleball players than golf and tennis combined. Similarly, the National Pickleball Expo has almost doubled year over year to having almost 6,000 attendees at the Las Vegas Convention Center last June. As a result, they are now the official annual convention of pickleball.

The show’s producers, National Pickleball Expositions, now host two events each year.  The World Pickleball Convention, which returns triumphantly to the Palm Beach Convention Center in June of 2025, as well as the National Pickleball Expo which remains a regional show and moves to different cities throughout the U.S.

While both events will feature pickleball related events, shopping and entertainment, the World Pickleball Convention is pickleball’s official annual convention, and features a conference with keynote speakers, three championship tournaments (Collegiate National Championships, the Armed Forces Picklebowl, and the Palm Beach Cup) plus over 150 exhibitions.  This year’s convention also brings the growing sport, Padel, with a full Padel court being erected so that attendees may discover and experience the new sport.

UBER and Delta Airlines are two of the presenting sponsors and will be providing much of the transportation for the players and attendees.  Delta is providing discounted flights for all players, while UBER is providing a free ride to the convention center for anyone within 20 miles of the convention center.  

In addition, to the presenting sponsors, a new activewear apparel company, Swing Sports, will be sponsoring the 2025 Activewear Fashion show, where they will be unveiling new fashions to the growing pickleball audience.  The runway fashion show is being held directly on the show floor.    

“There will be something for everyone at the pickleball expo,” said Carl Foster, spokesperson for the World Pickleball Convention, and organizer of the conference. “Attendees will range from individuals and families who have never played, all the way up to advanced and pro players. The show floor is heralding big discounts on everything from equipment, apparel, pickleball vacations, communities, instruction, and much more. There is even an on-site championship tournament taking place directly on the floor of the expo with twenty courts erected for the event. If it has anything to do with pickleball, it will be there,” continued Foster.

In addition to the show floor, a full on-site conference will support over fifty pickleball industry leaders from all over the world presenting key notes and panel conversations affecting the future of the sport.

The event is set for June 26-27, 2025. Additional information on the show can be found on the National Pickleball Expo’s official website.
