DPHA 2026 Conference & Product Showcase Recap
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the DPHA Conference + Product Showcase, held October 22–25 at the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City. This year’s event marked DPHA’s 25th Anniversary Silver Summit, and the excitement was evident throughout the week. With the highest registration numbers in more than a decade and a packed showcase floor, it was a great reminder of the strength and momentum of the decorative plumbing and hardware industry.
Three days in Salt Lake City
Friday opened with DPHA’s Product of the Year awards, and from there the days alternated between hours on the showcase floor and time in member roundtables and education sessions. The anniversary ran through the whole program, down to a board introduction done in yearbook photos, a nod to Saturday night’s high-school-reunion dinner.
A first DPHA for Peter
This year’s conference was also the first DPHA and trade show experience for Amba Marketing Manager Peter Manidis. Between educational sessions and time on the showcase floor, Peter connected with dealers, sales representatives, designers, and industry professionals from all over the country. He came away energized by the conversations and relationships that make this industry so unique.
At Booth #206
Many of those conversations took place at Booth #206 – the hottest booth at the show – where visitors experienced 15 working units from 7 collections and got a hands-on look at our finishes, controls, and product designs. If you stopped by and would like to continue the conversation about a project, display, or showroom opportunity, our team is ready to help!
To see the racks again closer to home, our showroom locator lists the dealers that have Amba collections on display.
A note from Harris
“Our dealers and sales reps are the reason Amba is featured in hundreds of showrooms across North America. Events like DPHA remind me how much this industry is built on strong relationships and shared passion. Seeing such tremendous attendance during DPHA’s 25th anniversary year was exciting, and I’m proud to serve on the DPHA Board of Directors as we look ahead to what’s next for our industry and for Amba.”
Harris Wattles, Vice President, Amba Products
Harris serves on DPHA’s 2026–2027 Board of Directors. He was named Vice President of Amba earlier this year.
