This year’s Florida Huddle and Encounter will take place February 2-4, 2026, at Hilton Orlando in Orlando, Florida.
Florida Huddle is the Sunshine State’s Official Travel Trade Show, showcasing the best of Florida to international and domestic tour operators, wholesalers and media with one-on-one-appointments, educational sessions, and networking. Florida partners that typically attend are visitor bureaus, hotels, resorts, attractions and theme parks.
Florida Encounter, one of the longest-running appointment trade shows in the meeting and convention industry, will take place in conjunction with Florida Huddle 2026. Encounter features appointments between fully hosted, qualified planners with proven business for Florida and Florida suppliers.
“Florida Huddle and Encounter provide invaluable opportunities to unlock business potential for the Sunshine State’s destinations, hotels, resorts and attractions,” said Visit Florida Chief Marketing Officer Brett Laiken, in a press release.
The Huddle will be welcomed by Visit Orlando President & CEO Casandra Matej.
