About Deck Expo

Measure Twice. Grow Exponentially.

The Only Event Dedicated to Decking Pros

In 2018 we started to see an interesting trend within the industry of buyers purchasing their "dream" backyards. Now, Deck Expo is THE global destination for decking and outdoor professionals who are seeking to grow their businesses with the latest products, trends, and business education.

The Deck Expo is the only event that actively collaborates across the entire industry to bring you the most comprehensive array of education and technology. 

This event is the largest gathering of decking, and outdoor living leaders in North America and beyond. Featuring fresh education, new vendors, and innovative show features, it's the perfect way to kick-off next year's buying cycle.

Deck Out; take your professional development further, faster by participating in the Deck Expo.
