Sunshine Matters

VISIT FLORIDA’s Marketing & Events team is pleased to announce that this year’s Florida Encounter will be held December 3-5 at the beautiful Bonaventure Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale.  Florida Encounter, now in its 33rd year, serves as the premier appointment-based trade show showcasing all the Sunshine State has to offer to meeting, convention and incentive travel professionals.

Attendees will learn about Florida meetings destinations, service companies and meetings properties at this exclusive appointment-only event.  Maintaining a one-to-one ratio between buyers and suppliers ensures that appointment books are as full as possible for all attendees.

VISIT FLORIDA, the Bonaventure Resort & Spa and the Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB are working hard to design and coordinate another successful, fun and productive trade show.  Registration for suppliers opens today. Interested meetings suppliers should visit FloridaEncounter.com for more information and an overview of registration fee options.

Registration for meeting and incentive travel professionals will open Wednesday, July 9 at 12 pm EST.  Click here to be notified when registration opens.  Just as we did last year, qualified planners will be fully hosted, including travel, accommodations, all organized functions and a full appointment book.

Our team looks forward to sharing the latest features we’ve added to Encounter and trust that it will continue to be a must-attend event for all our suppliers and meeting and incentive travel professionals.  For more details, please visit FloridaEncounter.com, follow the Florida Meetings Facebook page to stay up-to-date or contact me at sbonda@VISITFLORIDA.org with any questions.
