Florida Automation Expo - 2024 Vendor Registration

With over 500 people in attendance, the 2023 Expo exceeded our expectations, and we hope it exceeded yours too. It also exceeded the venue’s capacity, so we are upgrading to the Buccaneers Raymond James Stadium for 2024!

Being at Raymond James this year will provide the following benefits:

· All vendors will be in one common event space and the entire event will be indoors.

· We have more room for breakout sessions, so in addition to the four (4) vendor-neutral PDH presentations, we will also be offering our Gold and Platinum vendors 45-minute sessions to speak about their company or products specifically. These will be limited to 12 vendors total, so book early!

· We will have four (4) 19’x19’ spaces for Platinum Vendors to really spread out and show off their hardware.

· There will be an add-on available to display your logo on the Jumbotron.

· The demo vans will be located in front of the door to walk in.

· We will still have free parking.

The event will be on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday between October 22nd and 31st. Raymond James can lock in a specific date for us on August 1st and we will let you know promptly.

To keep people in the venue, we will be providing a boxed lunch for all attendees. We are going to need to charge $20 an attendee to do that though. Registered Vendors will receive a promo-code good for 2 attendees to man your booth. There is also a $20 add-on for you to purchase additional attendee registrations that you can give to your employees or customers. ISA and AWWA members will also receive a promo-code to attend.
