6 & 7 June 2026 | Hextar World Exhibition Hall, Empire City, Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA — ReSkills in partnership with co-organiser AFA and APTV, proudly announces the return of the Asia Pickleball Summit 2.0 (APS 2.0) — a landmark two- day summit at Hextar World Exhibition Hall, Empire City, Malaysia.
Pickleball has experienced extraordinary growth across Asia and the world since late 2024, capturing the imagination of millions of players, entrepreneurs, and sports enthusiasts alike. APS 2.0 is the answer to what comes next — a high-level platform designed not just to celebrate the sport’s momentum, but to secure its long-term, scalable future.
The summit will bring together brand owners, federation leaders, court operators, professional players, and investors from across the globe under one roof — to share expertise, real-world insights, and forge the cross-border collaborations that will drive pickleball’s growth across Asia for years to come. Anchored in a shared mission to champion the growth of pickleball across Asia, APS 2.0 supports players, empowers brands, and builds a strong, connected pickleball community.
Guest of Honour
Asia Pickleball Summit 2.0 is honoured to welcome Yang Berhormat Dr. Mohammed Taufiq Bin Johari, Minister of Youth & Sports Malaysia, as the Guest of Honour for this landmark event.
The Minister’s presence underscores the growing recognition of pickleball at the highest levels of Malaysian sport governance and reflects the government’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and globally competitive sports ecosystem. His participation signals a pivotal moment — where grassroots momentum meets national policy, and where Asia’s pickleball community steps firmly onto the world stage.
Event Highlights
APS 2.0 delivers a comprehensive two-day experience across four distinct programme areas, each designed to drive real impact for every stakeholder in the pickleball ecosystem.
1. Conference Talks & Panel Sessions
The conference talk sessions are the intellectual heart of APS 2.0. Court owners, brand owners, federation leaders, and industry leaders will come together on stage to share their knowledge, insights, and real-world experience — and to openly discuss the growth trajectory and future direction of pickleball over the next few years.
Expect 16 deep-dive talks and panels covering sport development, business strategy, federation growth, investment opportunities, and the future of pickleball across Asia — delivered by 20+ international speakers and thought leaders from around the globe.
Featured Speakers
2. Exhibition Booths & Product Showcase
The exhibition floor brings the pickleball industry to life. Brands, equipment makers, court solution providers, and service companies from across the region will fill 20+ exhibition booths, showcasing the very latest in products, technology, and services powering the sport’s growth.
Set within the exhibition area, two dedicated pickleball courts serve a dual purpose: as a live exhibition game space where attendees can watch the sport in action, and as a hands-on try-out zone where pickleball paddle brands can invite the audience to demo their equipment firsthand. It is the perfect environment where business meets play.

3. Outdoor Pickleball Courts — Open All Day
Just outside the conference hall, a full day of open pickleball court sponsored by Playa Racquet Club awaits. Participants are welcome to step off the exhibition floor, take a break between sessions, or simply enjoy the game they love — all in the company of fellow players, leaders, and innovators from across the region.
This dedicated outdoor play area reflects the spirit at the core of APS 2.0: that pickleball is not just a business — it is a community. The courts are open throughout both event days, making APS 2.0 a true end-to-end pickleball experience.
- Open play sessions throughout both event days
- Perfect for networking on the court with industry peers
- Available between conference sessions and during exhibition hours
