About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The BCA International Billiard & Home Recreation Expo (BCA Expo) is the billiard and home leisure industry's premier business-to-business trade show, organized by the Billiard Congress of America (BCA), the North American governing body for pool and billiards. Held annually in Las Vegas, the show brings together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and dealers to showcase the newest products, equipment, and services across the recreation category.

The expo covers a broad product range — from billiards and cues to barstools, casual furniture, ping pong, poker, darts, and shuffleboard. It is open to qualified professionals of the billiard and home leisure industries, making it a focused marketplace for buyers looking to stock showrooms and build supplier relationships.

Because the event is co-located with Amusement Expo International (AEI), attendees and exhibitors gain access to adjacent markets such as coin-op, family entertainment centers, and amusement products under one roof. Attendees come to source new products, take advantage of show-only specials, connect with peers, and stay current on industry trends, making it a valuable stop for anyone in the recreation retail supply chain.

Venue & Travel

Venue

Las Vegas Convention Center

3150 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) serves as the anchor venue for CES, with a campus spanning 4.6 million square feet. CES 2026 was the first major trade show held at the LVCC following completion of its $600 million renovation. The redesigned Grand Lobby connects the North and Central Halls and features stage programming, exhibits, and food service. The new Central Hall Atrium is defined by a striking glass curtain wall and dynamic digital display screens.

LVCC halls used during CES:

  • Central Hall — flagship space for major global technology brands
  • North Hall — additional exhibit and conference space
  • West Hall — home to the Mobility Stage and automotive/advanced mobility exhibits
  • South Halls — additional exhibit space
  • Central Plaza — outdoor connecting hub and boarding point for the Tech Express venue shuttle

The LVCC Loop, an underground autonomous vehicle transit system, provides free and fast cross-campus transportation connecting West Hall with Central and South Halls. CES 2026 spanned 12 official venues across three main campuses totaling more than 2.6 million net square feet: the LVCC Campus, the Venetian Campus (Venetian Expo, hosting Eureka Park and the Digital Health Summit), and the C Space Campus at ARIA Resort & Casino. Additional CES venues included Fontainebleau Las Vegas (CES Foundry) and the Las Vegas Sphere (Lenovo Tech World keynote).
