Pole Dance Enthusiasts invade Phoenix September 11-13, 2026, International Pole Convention
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pole dance, the workout on everyone’s radar comes to Phoenix for the first time this fall with “PoleCon: West”—held at the Sheraton Mesa Hotel at Wrigleyville West this September 11-13, 2026.
Open to the public, the convention provides attendees with all-star performances; seminars; workshops with internationally recognized “pole stars”; opportunities for instructor pole dance and twerk certifications; plenty of time for networking and access to vendors representing the best products and services in pole, fitness, nutrition, wellness, and glamour apparel.
PoleCon: West, in its second year, reflects the growth of the pole dance industry from one event to hosting two annual events, one per coast.
“Pole is everywhere – in major movies, TV shows, on tour with major musicians, and even as fitness classes in your hometown,” PoleCon CEO Colleen Jolly noted. “The convention celebrates the diversity of the industry—the sport side, fitness side, art side, theatrical side, and of course, the sexy side. It’s also an opportunity for pole dance businesspeople to get together and network.”
PoleCon is officially hosted by the International Pole Industry Association (IPIA), the pole industry’s first trade association.
PoleCon offers non-stop, diverse pole performances including several demographic focused showcases: the “AAPI Polers United Showcase,” highlighting the contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander polers, the “Moms Who Pole Showcase” celebrating moms and caregivers.
A great way for people to sample what pole dancing has to offer is to buy a ticket to one of the evening showcases on Friday or Saturday night for just $30 each.
“PoleCon’s goal is for everyone to see and appreciate the many facets of pole from the club side to those wanting to see pole competed in the Olympics,” Jolly said. “Everyone is welcome at PoleCon!”
The Weekend Pass ($199) provides an entire weekend of access to all events, with the fun kicking off Friday night. Lunch, included in the cost of admission, is served Saturday with breakfast on Sunday. Attendees under 18 participate with a parent or guardian at a discounted rate for the entire weekend. See the Friday or Saturday night showcases for just $30 (each).
