Dedicated to the Gymnasts of Texas

The Gymnastics Association of Texas (GAT) would like to invite interested businesses to purchase booth space at our 58th annual convention held August 22 - 24, 2025 in Austin, Texas. Over 700 professionals attend this weekend long convention to receive training, and get information on products and services.  The entire convention is held in the four-star Austin Renaissance Hotel, which keeps your potential customers close at hand.  Lectures even take place within the exhibit hall which ensures traffic throughout the day.  

Gym clubs in our service area continue to grow in size and number.  Owners and staff are constantly looking for information on how to better run their programs and/or businesses. Our conference is directed at improving all aspects of gymnastics, cheer and tumbling instruction.  From hands-on spotting to business management we provide training is all areas. In the current economic climate coaches are looking even more closely at product and service providers to better manage costs and cash flow.  What better opportunity to market products and services than to people who are in an information-gathering mode? 

GAT offers an online payment, which allows you to pick your first, second, and third choice of booth spaces.  Space choices are not guaranteed and space will not be confirmed until all contracts and payments are received with online registration. 

You must accept the online waiver “Trade Show Registration & Agreement” when using this online payment method.  Check the “Trade Show Map” to identify booth spaces. (See buttons above to view both documents.)

Upon receipt of your online payment and acceptance of the “Trade Show Registration & Agreement” waiver a confirmation of your booth space will be emailed to you.  Forms to have our contracted decorator handle freight and forms for added hotel services including electricity and internet are available here on our website.
