The Central Florida Chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing is hosting its 27th annual Reverse Trade Show on November 4, 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort. Unlike a traditional trade show, government agencies staff the booths and vendors circulate, allowing face‑to‑face meetings with purchasing officials from over twenty‑five local agencies (counties, cities, schools, utilities, transportation, aviation, law enforcement, etc.). The event is a low‑cost networking opportunity for vendors seeking contracts with public entities in Central Florida. Registration fees are tiered ($100 for a half‑day, $200 for a full day) and sponsorship packages range from $500 to $2,200, each providing varying levels of exposure (booth space, website banner, print ads, meals, etc.). Early‑bird pricing ends October 2, 2026.
