This page covers ten events worth tracking, chosen for their relevance to plumbing contractors, distributors, and industry buyers in the region. Design and Construction Week in Orlando opens the calendar in February, pulling a broad cross-trade audience that includes significant plumbing representation. Later in the spring, the IMARK Plumbing Annual and LPG Expo in Championsgate, FL gets more specific, with a buyer group focus that suits distributors and manufacturers building rep relationships. KBIS 2026, held as part of Design and Construction Week, draws kitchen and bath decision-makers who directly influence fixture and product spec. For operators managing territory in the Southeast, these events cluster geographically in ways that make multi-conference trips practical without burning the full travel budget.
