West Palm Beach, Florida Mar 30, 2026  – 

Organizers of the 6th Annual World Pickleball Convention & Conference held a press conference today at the Palm Beach County Convention Center to officially announce the event’s upcoming dates and its expanded list of key sponsors. The 2026 Convention is scheduled for October 16-18, 2026, and will gather athletes, industry leaders, brands, medical professionals, facility operators, and fans for three days dedicated to education, innovation, competition, and community engagement. The presence of the Mayor of Palm Beach County and several state officials at the announcement highlighted the event’s increasing regional and statewide importance.

Initially launched in 2021 as the National Pickleball Expo, the event has since evolved into the World Pickleball Convention, reflecting its larger scale, global reach, and growing significance as the sport’s leading business and consumer platform.

“Pickleball’s rapid expansion throughout Palm Beach County makes it an ideal fit for an event of this magnitude, and the World Pickleball Convention & Championships demonstrates the sport’s ongoing progress,” stated the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “With support from national brands and an anticipated attendance of over 8,000, the event is expected to generate substantial economic impact and further establish The Palm Beaches as a premier destination for major sporting events.”

Organizers revealed an impressive lineup of national and global brands sponsoring this year’s Convention, including Pepsi, American Express, Toyota, Brightline Trains, and new additions, Mission 1o2 and 2.AG.

The inclusion of Mission 1o2 and 2.AG signifies the Convention’s expanding influence across the wellness, performance, and lifestyle sectors.

Mission 1o2 is an advanced skincare brand developed at the intersection of scientific research, specific objectives, and the demands of modern living. The company formulates products for individuals whose skin regularly encounters real-world conditions. 

2.AG is a scientifically-driven brand pioneering fast-acting topical relief through its proprietary delivery technology. Their formulations assist athletes and active individuals in staying on the court longer, recovering more quickly, and moving with greater ease—directly aligning with the needs of the rapidly growing pickleball community.

Now in its sixth year, the World Pickleball Convention & Conference has become the sport’s foremost annual gathering, uniting the global pickleball ecosystem under one roof. The 2026 event will feature a dynamic exhibition floor, educational programs, wellness activities, celebrity appearances, and showcase new innovations shaping the sport’s future.

“The growth of this Convention since 2021 has been extraordinary, and it serves as a testament to the passion, innovation, and community that define the sport of pickleball,” commented George Domaceti, President & CEO of the World Pickleball Convention & Conference. “We are profoundly grateful to our sponsors—both our long-standing partners and our new visionary brands—for their belief in what this event represents. Their support fuels our momentum and enables us to enhance the experience for athletes, fans, and industry leaders from around the world. As we look toward 2026, we are not merely organizing an event—we are actively shaping the future of the sport.”
