WEST PALM BEACH, Florida - The 2023 Closets Conference & Expo is the only national event for the closets and home organization industry. It returns to West Palm Beach, Florida, April 12-14.

Closets Conference & Expo has grown year after year as manufacturers and suppliers provide new products to serve the multi-billion-dollar closet, garage, and organized storage industry. The 2021 event in Palm Beach attracted more than 1,000 attendees from 41 states plus Canada, Mexico, and Jamaica, and the conference tracks were at full capacity. In San Diego, this past April, 40 percent of attendees traveled more than 300 miles to the Closets Conference.

The 2023 event will again be co-located with Wood Pro Expo Florida.  

The two-day expo portion, April 13-14, is primed for action with an exhibit floor packed with opportunities for attendees to see, learn and find new ideas and products. Among the items on display will be new and popular machine and software technology, components, hardware and other supplies, as well as innovative surface materials.

The Closets Conference, co-sponsored by the ACSP, kicks off the event on April 12 with a full day of educational sessions and plant tours.

Plan to attend

Everything about Palm Beach ensures a great experience during the event and after hours. The Palm Beach County Convention Center and hotel are connected and conveniently located minutes from the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). They are both right in the heart of the entertainment and dining hub known as City Place, all steps away from great shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and a short walk to the beach.
