WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, July 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 2026 World Pickleball Convention & Conference, now celebrating its sixth annual gathering, is poised for its largest year yet. Last year’s Convention welcomed more than 5,000 attendees, marking a milestone for the rapidly expanding pickleball industry. This year, with Humana joining as the official Title Sponsor and extending invitations to 1.4 million of its members nationwide, as well as two major championships being played inside the convention, organizers are preparing for a record-breaking turnout. The Palm Beach County Convention Center has already begun ramping up security and operational staffing in anticipation of attendance exceeding 10,000 participants.

Attendees at the Convention represent a dynamic cross‑section of the pickleball world. The event attracts executives from both the pickleball industry as well as supporting industries, while also hosting thousands of players, fans, coaches, and individuals who are brand new to the sport.
