Exhibit Hall
The sold out 2026 RCon® Exhibit Hall was a hub of innovation and networking, featuring more than 200 supporting organizations. Attendees experienced industry leading equipment and solution providers, attended 20-minute Rapid Insight Sessions in the New Way Theatre, participated in live demonstrations, visited SWANA Central, and even brought their energy to the pickleball tournament!
