Convention Sponsorship
Sponsors allow us to keep this Annual Convention an affordable family event. This year we have added structure to our unique sponsorship opportunities. The new sponsorship packet provides a menu of sponsorship opportunities including the 2024 price and the 2023 sponsors that hold the right of first refusal. Due to the restructuring of our sponsorship opportunities some prices have been adjusted. In addition, we have added a cutoff date for returning sponsor commitment and increased sponsor recognition through sponsorship levels.

Allied Tradeshow Registration
The 2024 FCA Allied Tradeshow sold out on April 3, 2024, and a waiting list has been started.
To be added to the waiting list, please submit a booth agreement to convention@floridacattlemen.org. Identical to our booth placement procedures, we manage the waiting list on a first-come-first-served basis and do not place competitors adjacent to or across from each other. Because of this, if a booth reopens the first suitable company on the waiting list may have gotten on the list after the first company did.
While it’s common for 1-2 exhibiting companies to cancel their booth or no-show due to unforeseen circumstances, we cannot predict if/when that will happen. We encourage waitlisted exhibitors to plan on attending whether they get a booth or not and keep their allied dues current, so they receive early access to tradeshow registration next year. There are plenty of opportunities to interact with potential clients outside of tradeshow hours, and if there is a no-show situation, it’s convenient to already be in the building. Sponsorship opportunities are also available to further your reach to attendees in place of or in addition to a booth.
If you have any questions, please contact convention@floridacattlemen.org, or 407-846-6221.
