InspectionWorld 2026

Make the most out of the 2026 conference and your time in Valley Forge

by Laura Rote October 31, 2025

The countdown has begun for the next in-person InspectionWorld (IW). The much-anticipated educational and networking event coincides with ASHI’s 50th anniversary. 

From February 15 to 18, 2026, IW 2026 will take place at Valley Forge Casino & Resort in Valley Forge, just over 20 miles from the Philadelphia International Airport.

What to Expect 

InspectionWorld brings together inspectors, educators, vendors, and industry leaders for networking, professional development, and in-person learning. Sessions offer access to cutting-edge tools and technology, plus updates on industry standards and in-depth training across multiple educational tracks. This year, ASHI members will also be able to earn ASHI CEs for some of their time spent with speakers, colleagues, and vendors. 

A special vendor hall kickoff will take place on February 15, followed by three days of educational programming February 16 to 18 as part of this premier home inspector conference for home inspection professionals across North America. 

More to Do 

The region offers plenty of entertainment for those who have extra time before or after InspectionWorld, too. These are just a few of the top attractions: 

Valley Forge Casino Resort is a full amenity gaming resort with a 40,000-square-foot gaming floor. 

Valley Forge National Historical Park offers a chance to explore where General Washington and his Continental Army stayed in 1777 and see the renovated log huts.

The John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove is typically open Wednesday through Sunday, with an immersive bird museum and hiking trails. 

The Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College is a free museum showcasing innovative art exhibitions. 

The Centre Theater offers a calendar of various theater and art events, from plays and musicals to magic acts and more.
