For the twelfth consecutive year, global recreational water leaders will gather at the World Aquatic Health™ Conference (WAHC™), taking place 7 – 9 October 2015 at the beautiful Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition, the first bi-annual meeting of the CMAHC (Conference of the Model Aquatic Health Code) will take place 6 – 7 October at the Plaza Resort. The CMAHC serves the key role of collecting, assessing and relaying national input needed on the MAHC. Industry leaders are urged to mark their calendars, and watch for details by visiting
www.thewahc.org The WAHC spotlights advances that can generate growth for the aquatic field and industry. Seminars on public health code, recreational water illness (RWI) prevention, facility management, advanced chemistry, drowning prevention and fear, health benefits, and new industrial technology are some of the topics covered each year. A scientific poster session, lunch roundtables, and tabletop displays presented by non-profit organisations and conference sponsors fill out the two-day event. The most influential academic, industry and government
experts share the latest research to understand emerging issues, exchange ideas, and formulate future plans. Nearly 400 people representing a record number of states (42) and countries (12) travelled to the WAHC in 2014. Attendees from the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Hong Kong, Iceland, Mexico, Poland, Sweden, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom participated in this leading global aquatic research forum. Fifty-one per cent were new attendees. The WAHC is tailored for people involved in all areas of aquatics, including aquatic facilities, service providers, consultants, parks and recreation, water parks, manufacturers, academia, associations, builders, community organisations, distributors, hotels, government, health/medical, retail, and media. The World Aquatic Health Conference will once again be hosted by the National Swimming Pool Foundation® with pre and post conference events and leadership meetings to be announced. Many companies and organisations coordinate their leadership and sales meetings with the WAHC, making conference attendance more convenient and cost effective. A Call for Papers reminds those interested in presenting a poster or paper at the WAHC to submit no later than 31 January 2015.
SPLASH! Gold Coast Expands With Bigger Venue
Australasia’s largest swimming pool and spa industry event is about to get even bigger, as the SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show on the Gold Coast moves across the road to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC).
SPLASH! on the Gold Coast has been held at Jupiters since 2006 when Interpoint Events took over its management. It is one of Australia’s most successful trade shows and in 2010 it won the Best Australian Show (Trade or Consumer) at the Exhibition & Event Association of Australia (EEAA) Awards and is widely considered the best and largest pool and spa industry trade show in Australasia, as well as the largest dedicated pool and spa trade show in the region. However, the popularity of the show has seen it bursting at the seams. “We expanded into one marquee in 2008 and added a second marquee in 2014, but demand for exhibition space continues to grow,” says Simon Cooper, Managing
84 February 2015 SPN
Director of Interpoint Events. Cooper says the potential to expand at Jupiters has been exhausted, and while he has been considering this move for some time, the timing is right for 2016. The change of venue provides the exhibition with 30% more exhibition space and also enables all exhibitors to be located in the one hall – something that a number of exhibitors had been asking for. “As well as all being in the one hall, the exhibitors will have easier access and higher ceilings,” says Cooper. “For visitors, it will mean they can visit all the companies in one place and there will be dedicated meeting places built on the show floor for improved networking,” he says. “Also, the GCCEC is actually connected to Jupiters via a covered walkway, so it will still be extremely convenient for visitors and exhibitors staying at the casino.” The $167 million GCCEC opened in 2004, immediately becoming Australia’s
largest regional convention centre, capable of handling national and international conferences, exhibitions, concerts and sporting events.
The ninth Gold Coast SPLASH! show will be held on 17 – 18 August 2016 and organisers are anticipating 120 exhibitors and 2,500 visitors.
