HPBExpo

HPBEXPO 2024

February 13-15
Music City Center
Nashville Tennessee

Hear the sizzle of the grill. Smell the sweet aroma of a wood-burning fire. Feast your eyes on the newest technology in hearth products, smokers and outdoor cookers. Some things really are better in person, and at HPBExpo, you’ll see it all for yourself. North America’s largest hearth, patio and barbecue showcase is the year’s best opportunity to reconnect with top suppliers, be riveted by expert-led demos, share strategies with colleagues and gain insider knowledge you’ll only find here.

HPBEXPO 2023

March 11-13
Kentucky Expo Center
Louisville, Kentucky

HPBExpo 2023 saw a solid turnout at the Kentucky Exposition Centre, with a variety of attendees from across the industry. Members also put their own spin on Southern hospitality at the outdoor burn area with delicious grilled snacks, the annual cook-off, and even a few puppies.

The HPBAC + APC Canadian Reception was a hit! Roughly 150 Expo attendees stopped by Stevie Ray’s Blues Bar to mingle and enjoy live music from the Clark Band. We’re already counting down to HPBExpo 2024 in Nashville!

Thank you to our 2020 sponsors!

HPBEXPO 2022

March 2-5
Georgia World Congress Center
Georgia, Atlanta

From March 2-5, members of the hearth industry gathered in Atlanta, GA for the first time in two years. At times it felt like a reunion, spending time with industry members and seeing new products on the show floor. The new Recreation Square featured some fabulous billiard products and there were a number of new and returning exhibitors. Registration started slowly but the attendance was higher than the 2020 show in New Orleans. The FireTime podcast recorded at the show, featuring “A Woman’s Approach to the Sales Process”, hosted by Tim Reed and moderated by Rachel Feinstein with guests Jeni Forman, Megan Lee, and Ryann Blake. A second session, “Navigating the Supply Chain in 2022”, was recorded with Grant Falco moderating and guests Stephen Schroeter, John Shimek and Kirk Newby.

HPBEXPO 2021

HPBAC AGM + Focus Canada

Every year HPBAC hosts our Annual General Meeting at HPBExpo – in 2021, it was held virtually at HPBExpo Connect.

Thank you to all the members that attended. Missed the meeting? You can view the recorded video here.

HPBExpo Connect

For the first time ever, HPBExpo was held virtually at HPBExpo Connect 2021. Attendees were able to view an exhibit hall to see product demos, chat with booth staff and attend education sessions from the comfort of home or the office.

HPBAC’s booth included materials for visitors, such as videos and downloadable resources, and staff were on hand to chat with anyone that dropped by.

Thank you to everyone that attended, with special recognition to those that contributed to the HPBAC promotional materials.
