A Look Ahead To The 2025 Conference Calendar
The racquet and paddle sports industry is experiencing remarkable growth, resulting in a rise in conferences, conventions, and business events that cater to an increasingly dynamic market. These events serve as educational opportunities and vital networking platforms for forming partnerships and developing strategic business plans. As the industry continues to expand and diversify, participating in these gatherings provides a chance to stay informed about emerging trends, adopt new technologies, and engage with a vibrant community of professionals.
The PGA Show’s expansion into racquet sports is one of the most notable developments in the industry’s growth. Traditionally focused on golf, the PGA Show has recently diversified to incorporate clubhouse amenities, health, fitness, racquet sports, and lifestyle-related exhibitors. Recognizing the growing demand among industry professionals for a platform to connect and innovate in this space, the introduction of *The Clubhouse* within the PGA Show has transformed the event into a comprehensive hub for professionals seeking to enhance member and player experiences on and off the golf course.
Alongside the PGA Show, the industry’s conference landscape is rapidly expanding. RacquetX 2025, an emerging conference focused on innovation and technology in racquet sports, is quickly gaining attention. The event will address the intersection of technology, training, and player experience, highlighting how advancements shape the sport’s future. Similarly, the 2025 World Pickleball Annual Convention continues to grow alongside the sport’s skyrocketing popularity, attracting players, equipment manufacturers, tournament organizers, and facility owners eager to tap into the pickleball boom.

Additionally, PSA Foundation Squash Summit 2025 will gather professionals from the squash world to discuss player development, facility design, and community engagement. The Summit is scheduled to feature workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities from key industry executives, positioning it as a must-attend for those in the squash sector.
Another major event on the horizon is the 2025 PADEL World Summit, an international gathering of the Padel community. With the sport expanding across the U.S. and Europe, the Summit aims to address key issues like facility development, global market trends, and innovations in playing surfaces and training equipment, making it a cornerstone event for the growing Padel industry.
With a growing slate of events and conferences on the calendar, 2025 will be a pivotal year for the racquet and paddle sports industry. Whether you’re focused on growing your facility, enhancing player experiences, or innovating in new areas of racquet sports, these business events provide essential opportunities to invest in your organization’s future and the broader industry.
