The 2026 Irrigation Show and Education Week will connect industry professionals with emerging technologies, educational opportunities and valuable networking experiences.

The Irrigation Association (IA) will bring irrigation professionals together in Las Vegas, Nevada, December 7-10, 2026, for the Irrigation Show and Education Week, an event focused on industry innovation, professional development and meaningful connections. Hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the event will feature a trade show December 9-10, giving attendees opportunities to explore products, discover emerging technologies and connect with industry leaders.

Bringing together irrigation contractors, manufacturers, dealers, distributors, consultants, growers, researchers, educators and students, the event offers a collaborative environment for professionals across the industry. Expert-led sessions and discussions provide insights into irrigation trends and solutions, while networking opportunities help attendees strengthen existing relationships and establish new connections.

Education remains a central focus of the event, with opportunities to earn continuing education units (CEUs) and advance professional credentials. The trade show will also provide exhibitors and sponsors with a platform to introduce their products and services in both the New Product Contest and the Startup Showcase. According to the Irrigation Association, 94% of attendees are qualified buyers and decisionmakers, highlighting the event's value for businesses seeking to expand their industry reach.

Attendee feedback further demonstrates the event's educational and professional value. 93% of attendees learned about new products and technologies, while 89% gained insights to improve irrigation practices. These opportunities extend beyond the exhibition floor, with exclusive excursions and networking experiences throughout the week.
