Trade Shows in Orlando

The Orlando area’s sunny weather and easy accessibility from around the country make it the ideal place to hold a trade show. Tourism is the region's major industry and as a result, extensive infrastructure is in place for hosting events and out-of-town business visitors. Add to that a range of area attractions — the city is known as the “Theme Park Capital of the World,” after all — and it’s easy to see why so many industries hold major trade shows in Orlando.

Getting to Orlando

The Orlando International Airport, a hub for Southwest, JetBlue and Frontier Airlines, serves travelers to the region. The nearby Orlando Sanford International Airport also hosts domestic flights from Allegiant Air as well as a few international routes and seasonal charters.

Orlando is located on Interstate 4, the state’s major throughway. It is approximately a three and half hour drive north from Miami, and a two-hour drive south from Jacksonville. Orlando is also served by Amtrak and is a major stop on the Sliver Star and Silver Meteor lines, which run from Miami to New York via the Northeast Corridor.

Planning Your Event

A trade show is a significant opportunity for your business. At APG Exhibits, we recommend planning well in advance to make the most of it. Some things you’ll want to establish early on include:

  • Your objectives and goals for the event
  • Your marketing budget
  • The size of your exhibit space
  • Your sales message/marketing materials
  • Any events or giveaways you want to host
  • Which team members will attend

Organizations that are successful at trade shows start the planning process early. With a clear vision for the event and appropriate resources, your business will have a better chance of capitalizing on the opportunities for growth and partnerships that present themselves.

Understanding the Importance of a Great Display

One of the best things about trade shows is that they effectively level the playing field between newer and more established businesses. A small investment in a great display can help your organization stand out from the crowd, attracting attention away from your competitors and giving you the opportunity to make a compelling pitch to potential stakeholders.

At APG Exhibits, we understand the importance of an effective trade show display. We sell a carefully curated selection of trade show display products, at a guaranteed low price. Through exceptional service and a commitment to delivering excellent value, we will help your business make a splash at your next big event.
