The deadline for returning your submission for consideration is March 15, 2018, but you may continue to submit proposals after this date in the event of a cancellation or change to the schedule.  Final selections will be made in the Summer. You will be notified at that time to advise whether or not we were able to include your submission for the 2018 program.  Should you have any questions about the Int’l Pool Spa Patio Expo conference program, please contact Brandi McElhaney brandi.mcelhaney@informa.com  972-536-6392 or Michelle Rohmer michelle.rohmer@informa.com  972-536-6366.
