Orbital rates this event Silver.
Groom Expo West earns a Silver rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the vet industry. A solid regional option for teams focused on the vet market.
Groom Expo West is a professional grooming conference held in Pasadena, CA, running February 19 through 22, 2026. It draws somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 attendees, most of them working groomers, salon owners, and pet care professionals looking to build or maintain credentials. The focus is squarely on training and certification, so the floor skews toward hands-on instruction and continuing education rather than product launches or broad industry networking. Sessions tend to cover technique, safety, and business fundamentals for grooming operations of all sizes. Ticket pricing sits in the mid-range, making it accessible without being a low-commitment event. For independent groomers, mobile operators, or salon managers who need verifiable certifications or want structured skill development, this is a practical stop on the calendar.
