Meet the Industry Experts Speaking at Panhandle Expo 2026
One of the biggest reasons to attend Panhandle Expo is the opportunity to learn directly from experienced professionals who understand what it takes to succeed.
This year's lineup brings together experts in leadership, sales, marketing, business growth, technical training, and exterior cleaning operations.
Featured Keynote Speakers
Phil Conway | Built to Lead
Growing a business requires more than purchasing additional equipment or hiring another technician. It requires leadership.
Phil Conway will help attendees explore what it means to become the leader their business needs as it grows.
Chris Johnson | Understanding Human Behavior to Increase Sales
Understanding how people think, make decisions, and respond during the sales process can change the way contractors approach their customers.
Chris Johnson will discuss the importance of human behavior and how understanding it can help business owners become more effective at selling.

Each speaker brings unique experiences and perspectives, giving attendees practical knowledge they can take back to their businesses.
Go Beyond the Classroom With Hands-On Training and Live Equipment Demonstrations
Education at Panhandle Expo doesn't stop when the presentation ends.
Throughout the event, attendees will have opportunities to get outside, see equipment in action, and learn directly from experienced contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers.
These demonstrations help connect what you learn in the classroom with what actually happens in the field.
Whether you're interested in pressure washing, soft washing, surface cleaning, equipment performance, property protection, or new service opportunities, our goal is to provide education that makes a difference in your business.
There's something powerful about being able to ask questions, see how equipment performs, and learn from professionals who use these tools every day.
Connect With Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Contractors From Across the Industry
Some of the most valuable opportunities at Panhandle Expo happen between scheduled sessions.
The conversations on the show floor. The introductions between contractors. The relationships built with manufacturers and suppliers.
These connections can open doors to new partnerships, better equipment solutions, business opportunities, and relationships that continue long after the event is over.
At Panhandle Expo, we believe a stronger industry is built by bringing people together.
Our exhibitors and sponsors are an important part of that mission, giving attendees direct access to the brands, products, equipment, and people supporting the exterior cleaning industry.
