IAPPF | AB Show

The International Association of Pickleball & Padel Facilities (IAPPF) is the trade association serving owners, operators, and developers of pickleball and padel facilities. Its members span facilities worldwide — from single-site operators to multi-location developers, along with the suppliers and service providers who support them. The IAPPF provides the education, resources and industry connections facility decision-makers need to build and run successful pickleball and padel businesses at every stage, from concept through construction, launch and operations.

 

In 2026, the IAPPF brings its International Conference and Expo to AB Show, hosting its full two-day conference within the show Nov. 17-19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Registrants may attend dozens of sessions led by industry experts, facility operators and suppliers focused on the business of building and running pickleball and padel facilities — plus the benefit of learning and networking alongside peers from parks and recreation, high schools, colleges, health clubs, military and the wider athletics and fitness industries.

 

 

The partnership expands the AB Show expo floor with pickleball and padel suppliers and service providers, from court builders and surfacing to equipment, technology and operations partners. For facility owners and developers weighing capital projects, it’s one event to compare vendors, learn from operators who have done it and connect with the decision-makers shaping both industries.
