All welcome at Wednesday's Climate Care Reception

Enjoying the biggest gathering of pool and spa industry professionals in the country

It's the biggest get-together in the local swimming pool and spa industry - the Climate Care Welcome Reception on the Wednesday night of the SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show.

It is the event where new friends are made, old friends are re-acquainted, business ideas are passed around and competitors enjoy a well deserved beer together after a hectic day taking in everything at the SPLASH! expo.

The drinks go from 5pm to 6:30pm on the Terrace and are often a precursor to a night of fun networking at various other events organised by industry suppliers and organisations. One such event is the Young Guns night starting at 7:30 at the Poolside Bar at Jupiter's Casino, sponsored by Pool Ranger, for future leaders to network while enjoying vibrant DJs, entertainment and door prizes - no registration is necessary.
