The Most Important US Gymnastics Trade Shows and Events
A guide to the biggest US gymnastics trade shows and regional championships, what happens at each one, and how gym owners can get the most out of them.
If you own or manage a 体操施設 in the United States, the trade show calendar can feel overwhelming. There is the USA Gymnastics National Congress every August, seven separate regional championships between June and August, state association conferences, and specialty events for coaches, judges, and gym owners. Add up the travel and it can easily eat a full summer.
This guide breaks down the main events every US gym owner should know about, what happens at each, who you meet there, and how to decide which ones are worth attending. Bagjump attends most of these shows every year, so if you plan to visit any of them, come find us. We are usually easy to spot.
USA Gymnastics National Congress and Trade Show
The single biggest event of the year for the US gymnastics industry. The USA Gymnastics National Congress and Trade Show is held every August in a rotating host city. In 2026 it takes place in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Phoenix Convention Center from August 7 to 9.
What makes National Congress different from the regional events is the mix. It combines the largest gymnastics trade show floor in the country with three days of educational sessions covering coaching, judging, business operations, mental performance, and safety. Coaches earn continuing education credits, judges attend recertification clinics, and gym owners walk the trade show floor to see what is new in equipment, apparel, and technology.
For gym owners, this is the event to attend if you attend only one. Every major equipment supplier is there, most of the leading educational programs run sessions, and it is the best place in the country to meet other owners at your level.
Bagjump attends National Congress every year with our full team, including sales leads for the Americas and specialists who can walk you through our AirPit Gymnastics line and answer questions about foam pit replacement projects. You can read our take on what typically happens at Congress in our article on why every gymnastics facility needs an airbag.
The Seven USA Gymnastics Regional Championships
USA Gymnastics divides the country into seven competitive regions, each with its own annual regional championships between June and August. These are competitive meets first, but they double as networking events for gym owners, coaches, and equipment suppliers.
Region 1: Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah
The largest region by athlete count and one of the most competitive. Region 1 championships typically happen in late summer, often in San Jose or another major California city. Strong turnout from West Coast gyms.
Region 2: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
The Pacific Northwest region. Smaller footprint than Region 1 but tight-knit gym community. Championships usually happen in Oregon or Washington.
Region 3: Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas
Region 3 covers a huge geographic area and includes some of the fastest-growing gymnastics markets in the country. Texas alone has hundreds of member gyms.
Region 4: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin
The Midwest region. Championships often happen in Iowa or the Great Lakes area. Strong tradition of high-quality club programs.
Region 5: Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia
Region 5 is known for passionate gymnastics communities and consistent producing top athletes. Championships typically happen in Ohio.
Region 6: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont
The New England region. Regional championships often happen in Rhode Island or Massachusetts. See the Region 6 official site for the current calendar.
Region 7: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia
The Mid-Atlantic region. Historically hosted in Virginia Beach or Baltimore. Check the Region 7 site for current dates.
For gym owners, the regional championships are worth attending even if your athletes are not competing at the top level. It is where you meet neighboring gym owners, see competitors’ setups, and often catch equipment vendors like Bagjump on-site with demo units.
State and Regional Association Conferences
Beyond USA Gymnastics, several state and regional associations run their own annual conferences focused on gym business, coaching development, and networking.
Gymnastics Association of Texas (GAT)
について Gymnastics Association of Texas runs one of the largest state conferences in the country every Labor Day weekend in Austin. Over 700 coaches, owners, and industry professionals attend. The event is known for its business track, which is unusually strong for a state association. If you own a gym in Texas or the surrounding states, GAT is worth putting on your calendar.
NGA Championships and Events
について National Gymnastics Association runs its own championship series and camps throughout the year, including the NGA National Championships in June. NGA is an alternative competitive pathway to USA Gymnastics and has its own event circuit worth following if your gym runs NGA programs.
