About this opportunity
The Central Florida Chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing is hosting its 27th Reverse Trade Show on November 4, 2026, in Orlando, Florida — an industry networking event rather than a procurement solicitation. The event convenes purchasing officials from over twenty-five local government agencies across Central Florida (including Volusia, Osceola, Lake, Orange, Polk, and Seminole counties; multiple cities; school districts; public utilities; and transportation and aviation authorities) to meet directly with vendors seeking business with governmental entities.
The reverse trade show format eliminates individual vendor booth setup — government representatives staff the exhibition booths while vendors move between them for face-to-face meetings. Two half-day sessions are offered: morning (8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) and afternoon (12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.), with full-day attendance also available. The event is held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort, 10100 International Drive, Orlando.
Vendor registration pricing (early-bird rates through October 2, 2026): half-day $100, full-day $200. Regular rates (after October 2): half-day $125, full-day $250. Pay-at-door rates: half-day $150, full-day $260. Sponsorship tiers support vendor visibility: Silver ($500) includes directory listing, half-page color advertisement, and two admissions; Gold ($1,500) adds full-page color advertising and four admissions; Diamond ($2,200) includes an eight-foot table, two chairs, four admissions, lunch, and product showcase setup. All sponsorship levels receive electronic promotion in the NIGP member newsletter (distributed to over 350 members) and posting on the NIGP National website. Sponsor deadline is October 2, 2026.
Early-bird registrants gain access to virtual educational sessions on October 30, 2026, covering procurement cooperatives and doing business with government agencies. Registration and sponsorship information: www.cfcnigp.org, www.govtradeshow.com, or 407-435-2744. Sponsorship inquiries: fundraising@cfcnigp.org or Tabatha C Freedman at tfreedman@volusia.org.
