Best Plumbing Trade Shows 2021
Editor’s Note: This article updated on 4/26/21.
Plumbing trade shows are the best way to keep up to date on the latest industry trends, technologies, and service offerings.
Whether you own or work for a plumbing company, having top of the line tools, technology, knowledge, and networking can boost productivity and substantially increase customer satisfaction.
What better place to learn all of this than at one or two of these plumbing trade shows in 2021.
Having said that, 2021 will be a bit different than years past. With the current COVID-19 pandemic in full gear, there is the possibility that some, maybe many, 2020 trade shows for the plumbing market will be pushed into 2021 or 2022, or even canceled.
But we’re an optimistic bunch. So while there will no doubt be fewer plumbing trade shows in 2021, there are still great shows moving full speed ahead. And we’re listing them below.
Note: we’ll continue to update this article whenever new plumbing trade shows are announced or we hear of any changes below.
