Calling sports design and construction professionals!

By Emma Peterson. 

Forge new connections, nurture existing relationships and build partnerships for success at the 2026 ASBA technical meeting.  

This December, the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) will be hosting their largest meeting! From December 1–4, 2026, ASBA members from around the world will come together in Tampa, Florida to make business connections that change the future of sports building. 

One of the priorities of the show is the technical education offerings! There will be 34 different sessions spanning all parts of the industry, from courts and tracks to fields and indoor facilities. This is a great opportunity for you to get valuable and practical insights that you can implement in your business in the new year.
It also gives certified builders the opportunity to earn up to 12 eligibility points. 

Another great opportunity for attendees is the extensive trade show floor! This year, there are over 143 different exhibitors signed up for the show, including industry leaders like Advanced Drainage Systems, California Sports Surfaces and Rain Bird. This is the perfect opportunity to see the newest products and innovations in the sports construction world. And while you’re exploring the trade show floor, make sure to stop by booth 840 (on the right side of the lobby) to say hi to The Coffee Shops® crew!  

And if that all wasn’t enough to get you to book your flight, the ASBA technical meeting hosts a variety of meals, events and other activities where you can network with the builders, designers, manufacturers and other professionals who are making the decisions about the future of the industry. These include division meetings, a golf tournament, a tennis/pickleball competition, a welcome reception, a sporting clays outing and more.  

Register today to join your industry peers and leaders in setting the pace for the future of sports building.
