If you work in the automatic pool cover industry, you already know how much the job demands. Whether you are a technician in the field, a builder managing installs, a business owner trying to grow, or an office professional keeping everything running behind the scenes, staying sharp takes ongoing effort. The industry moves, technology evolves, and the difference between good and great often comes down to what you know and who you know.
That is exactly what CoverCon was built for.
What Is CoverCon?
CoverCon is the automatic cover industry’s premier training and networking event, hosted by Mizu. It brings together professionals from across the country for three days of hands-on technical training, business growth education, vendor showcases, and evening entertainment. It is not a casual meetup. It is a focused, high-value event designed specifically for the people who work in this industry every day.
CoverCon 2026 takes place October 27-29 at the Provo Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Provo, Utah.
Who Is It For?
CoverCon is built for the full range of professionals in the automatic cover space. If any of these sound like you, this event was designed with you in mind.
- Installation technicians looking to sharpen their skills and stay current on best practices
- Builders who want a deeper understanding of automatic cover systems and how to integrate them into their projects
- Business owners focused on growing their companies and improving their operations
- Office staff and support teams who want better tools and processes
- Industry partners, manufacturers, suppliers, and vendors who want to connect with the people doing the work
What You Will Actually Learn
CoverCon 2026 will feature a wide variety of educational sessions covering both the technical and business sides of the industry. Current classes include:
- Pre-Concrete
- Final Installation
- Electrical and Troubleshooting
- Service and Maintenance
- Advanced Design and Installation
- Sales and Marketing
- Skedit
- Fiberglass
- Industry Best Practices
- Hands-On Technical Demonstrations
Sessions will be led by experienced trainers, educators, and industry professionals, as well as respected industry organizations and manufacturers including Pentair and WaterShape University. Additional speakers and sessions will be announced as they are finalized.
It Is More Than Just Training
Three days of class would be valuable on its own, but CoverCon is designed to be more than that. The event also includes a vendor and sponsor tradeshow where you can connect with the companies behind the products and tools you use, networking opportunities that put you in the same room as some of the most experienced people in the industry, and evening entertainment to cap off each day.
This year’s entertainment features Zach Waldman, a high-energy mix of comedy, magic, and mentalism guaranteed to leave the whole room laughing. Meals and snacks are included throughout the event so you can stay focused without worrying about the logistics.
Vendor and Sponsorship Opportunities
If you represent a company that serves the automatic cover or pool industry, CoverCon is one of the best places to get in front of your audience. Vendor passes include tabletop exhibit space, full access to CoverCon classes, meals and entertainment, and social media story recognition. Vendor space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available and include company logo placement on the CoverCon website, event signage, attendee t-shirts, social media recognition, and acknowledgment during opening and closing remarks. Sales for both end September 1, 2026.
Why It Is Worth Your Time
The pool cover industry does not have a lot of dedicated training events. Most professionals learn on the job, pick things up from mentors, or piece together knowledge over years of experience. CoverCon puts three days of focused, industry-specific education in one place alongside the people who have been doing this for a long time and the companies pushing the industry forward.
If you want to get better at what you do, grow the business you are building, or simply connect with others who understand the work, CoverCon is worth your time.
