Hello cindyt-ga,
This was an interesting but very tough search. It seems that its
fairly easy to locate companies involved with waterscaping, water
landscaping, and water features but its much tougher to find trade
shows for this industry. I was not able to find any that are dedicated
solely to this market segment.
While reviewing the websites of some of the waterscapes companies, I
found that some of them listed the trade shows they attend. These
seemed to be related to landscaping, building and outdoor recreations
organizations. I tried various combinations of keywords to locate some
trade shows for you that are likely to have representatives of the
waterscape systems industry (pumps, lights, filters, fountains) that
you specified.
I think the shows Ive identified should give you a good start. You
can explore further by doing more searching following some of the
links Ive listed. Your best bet might be to identify the major
waterscapes companies and then call them to ask them which trade shows
they attend.
Best wishes for your projects.
