HPBExpo26 is headed back to New Orleans, March 18-21, 2026, and if you’re in the hearth, barbecue, or outdoor living industries, this is the event you can’t afford to miss.
Not just the ones you already know and trust, but new ones you haven’t met yet. This is the only place where the full scope of the industry comes together under one roof, in one trip.
2) Innovation doesn’t take a year off.
If you’re not seeing what’s new each year, you’re already behind. From cutting-edge technologies and product launches to efficiency upgrades and design trends, HPBExpo is your opportunity to see it all up close and in person!
3) Education is free, and priceless.
Take advantage of expert-led sessions included with your registration. Whether you’re sharpening your skills or training your team, you’ll leave smarter and more equipped for the year ahead.
4) Real business happens face to face.
At HPBExpo26, you’re not just shaking hands, you’re strengthening partnerships, negotiating deals, exploring new lines, and gaining insights you can’t get from a Zoom call or a catalog.
5) This is YOUR industry’s show.
Other events may cater to broader markets, but HPBExpo is built specifically for you. This is where exhibitors connect with real buyers, and where buyers discover the products that will drive their businesses forward.
6) New Orleans is FUN.
Beyond the show floor, the city offers world-class food, music, and culture. It’s easy to reach, easy to navigate, and full of the kind of energy that makes the HPBExpo experience even more memorable. Just last year, New Orleans ranked third nationally among the top 250 convention destinations!
