New at HPBExpo 2022
CSIA Collaboration We are excited to announce our collaboration with Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) to add more educational opportunities to the 30+ sessions that the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Education Foundation already offers at HPBExpo. The added bonus is that these additional classes are included with the education passport fee. We are really excited about the potential of attracting even more chimney sweeps to HPBExpo, as it will now be the place to keep up certifications. Be sure to check out the full HPBExpo Education Program. NFI and CSIA certification online exams will be available onsite. HPB Recreation Square HPBExpo is also excited to introduce HPB Recreation Square, an ancillary marketplace on the Expo floor with new product categories. The products and services in HPB Recreation Square complement — not compete — with HPBExpo’s professional’s offerings. The addition of billiards products to the show floor include Brunswick, Championship, Dynasphere, Imperial International, Koda Sports, Legacy Billiards, Plank & Hide, Presidential Billiards, and RAM Game Room. The Recreation Square is where you can build new relationships and where you can take your business to the next level with offerings to impress even the most selective client. Secure your retail outlet as a go-to for all outdoor living products and entertainment.

Keynote Address: Sponsored by Hearth & Home Technologies Welcome to the Hybrid Life: New Consumer Behaviors That are Changing Everything! Bridget Brennan, Founder & CEO, Female Factor Thursday, March 3, 2022 • 8:30 am-9:45 am Author and consumer expert Bridget Brennan will explore the challenges and opportunities of a new world in which our behaviors are increasingly “hybrid.” Are we working from home or living at work? Are we hanging out together or are we each on our own devices? Is the living room the new gym or the center of family life? Are we actively shopping or are we scrolling through Instagram? Increasingly, the answer is both – and that brings new opportunities for businesses in the hearth, patio, and BBQ industries. The home is the heart of hybrid life. In this eye-opening and entertaining keynote program, the author of Winning Her Business and Why She Buys will inspire you with insights on the cultural shifts that are driving changes in the way consumers live, work, and buy. You’ll walk away with strategies and best practices for leveraging these shifts to win sales and grow market share. You won’t want to miss this master class on cultural relevance and consumer behavior.
