About this Event

Canaveral Port Authority 16th Annual Reverse Trade Show

Are you a local business or vendor looking to expand your footprint with the Canaveral Port Authority and regional public agencies?

Forget the traditional trade show setup where you site behind a booth trying to catch a buyers eye. At our annual Reverse Trade Show, the dynamics are flipped: the buyers and agencies are the exhibitors, and you are the one walking the floor to connect directly with decision-makers here at the Canaveral Port Authority!

What Makes This Event Unique?

Unlike standard networking events or typical trade shows, this specialized format brings multiple internal departments from the Canaveral Port Authority alongside key local and regional agencies together under one roof. Instead of trying to track down multiple procurement contacts across different offices and locations, you can have direct, face-to-face access to them in a single morning.

Whether you specialize in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supplies, construction, engineering, professional consulting, technology, or general business services, this event is designed to streamline your business development efforts.

Who You Will Have the Opportunity to Meet:

• Canaveral Port Authority Departments: Connect with representatives across various internal divisions—including Purchasing/Procurement, Engineering, Facilities, Operations, and IT—who actively source goods and services.
• Local & Regional Agencies: Expand your public-sector network by meeting with participating local organizations and municipal entities looking for trusted local vendors.

Who Should Attend?

• Local contractors, suppliers, service providers, and consultants looking to do business with public entities.
• Both established government contractors and businesses eager to learn how to break into public-sector procurement.
