Following the strong debut of its first event in San Jose, the Bay Area ADU Expo is heading to Oakland this September for a larger regional showcase.
At the Bay Area ADU Expo Spring 2026, attendees engaged with ADU companies, posing inquiries and evaluating possibilities for their upcoming builds.
This autumn, the Bay Area ADU Expo returns to assist Northern California property owners in investigating ADU possibilities, consulting specialists, and understanding the construction journey.

OAKLAND, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Convo Events LLC is reviving The Bay Area ADU Expo this fall, broadening the event’s reach across the area. Following a prosperous initial gathering earlier this year, the Expo will provide Northern California homeowners with the opportunity to explore accessory dwelling unit (ADU) alternatives, interact with field experts, and obtain a more defined picture of how to construct an ADU.
Scheduled for September 25-27 at The Bridge Yard in Oakland, the Bay Area ADU Expo Fall 2026 will unite homeowners, contractors, architects, designers, lenders, producers, technology firms, municipal agencies, and housing specialists for a weekend concentrated on ADUs and compact residential options.
This announcement follows the enthusiastic reception of the first Bay Area ADU Expo, which occurred February 28-March 1 in San Jose and drew over 1,700 visitors and more than 40 exhibitors. The occasion highlighted the increasing need for dependable ADU guidance across the Bay Area, with attendee polls indicating that 81.5 percent of participants were property owners and over 62.9 percent intended to get in touch with an exhibitor after the event.
“The feedback from our inaugural Bay Area ADU Expo made it clear that homeowners are actively seeking trustworthy information and qualified experts to guide them through the ADU journey,” stated Calvin Cheng, founder of Convo Events LLC. “We are thrilled to host the event in Oakland this autumn and to provide another chance for homeowners to examine their choices, pose inquiries, and link directly with those who can help bring their ventures to life.”
By assembling every phase of ADU development in a single venue, the Bay Area ADU Expo seeks to simplify what is frequently a complicated procedure. Instead of leaving homeowners to independently research contractors, funding options, permit protocols, and design concepts, attendees will have the chance to evaluate solutions and engage directly with professionals representing all facets of an ADU project.
Property owners contemplating an ADU for family, additional living area, a home office, or rental revenue can utilize the expo to investigate their alternatives and converse with specialists who can assist.
A key highlight of the event will be several life-sized ADU and tiny home demonstration units. Attendees can also tour completed models firsthand, gaining a clearer comprehension of elements like floor plans, finishes, spatial arrangement, build quality, and design opportunities that are challenging to appreciate solely through images or digital renderings.
Educational seminars led by industry specialists and public agencies will also be offered, addressing subjects such as ADU planning, design, permits, funding, construction, and regional housing regulations. By incorporating representatives from city planning and housing departments, the expo fosters opportunities for homeowners and industry members to interact directly with the organizations influencing local ADU growth and housing efforts.
“Our objective is to demystify the entire ADU process,” Cheng remarked. “By gathering builders, lenders, designers, producers, public agencies, and actual demonstration units in one location, we are enabling homeowners to depart with practical information and contacts they can leverage to advance their projects.”
General entry to the Bay Area ADU Expo is complimentary, and walk-in visitors are welcome. The public expo will be operational on Saturday, September 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, September 27, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A ticketed Industry Professional Networking Reception is scheduled for Friday, September 25, enabling builders, designers, lenders, planners, exhibitors, and city officials to connect prior to the public opening.
