2026 Florida International Audio Expo Feb 20-22

It's actually on the West Coast, near the FL State Fairgrounds, at the Sheraton Tampa Brandon hotel.

I have never attended this show.  This year we are at our home in NH anyway, so another near miss.  @hilde45 you are not missing anything.  Florida has been good to me, but I can't say I love it even 3 decades in.  

This is a good show. It’s well attended but not so crowded that you can’t move around. The parking is free, the food is affordable and the vendors are accessible and will often play requests. 
 

And… there is a pretty good representation of gear and most of the rooms sound pretty good. 
 

It’s a decent show, not Capitol Audiofest caliber,but if your looking for more than being rushed out of a room this is the show. Like others have mentioned, you actually get time in the rooms, hear requests and not have cut off discussions with the exhibitors. The new venue is even better, no crowed elevators going to the 12th floor or such, it’s much more spread out along with the Florida vibe making it a vacation like atmosphere to enjoy the show. Been to several of the Florida shows over the years and seen really how it has evolved and highly recommend attending if you have the chance.   

I spend some time in FL over the winter.  I went last year and will be attending again this year.  I thought it was a good show last year. I hadn't experienced the previous venue, but the current one seems to work well.  I've been to Axpona a couple times.  The FL show is a little mellower than that. 

I have looked into the Suncoast Audiophile Society.. I don't have much of a system in FL..just a headphone setup, mainly, but I wouldn't mind hear other's systems.
