Who Should Exhibit?

Firefighting is a 24-hour, multi-layered profession with a wide variety of needs that keep departments functioning safely and efficiently. Products and services that appeal to this audience include firefighting apparatus and gear, firehouse construction and furnishings, kitchen furnishings, firefighting related software, safety and health products, personnel management tools, motivational items and much more. If your product or service supports the firefighting community in any way, the relationships started at the Florida Fire Conference will help you stand out from your competitors. Contact info@ffca.org or 850-900-5180 for more information.

Benefits for Exhibitors

The first show of the year, the Florida Fire Conference is held prior to fire department budget preparation, so decision-makers can see the latest products and services before they prepare their budgets.

Training classes are held in close proximity to the tradeshow floor, allowing for easy access during breaks.

Florida Fire Conference continuing education programs are geared to the fire service instructor, company officers, command officers, fire chief executive officers, HazMat officer, EMS manager, health care provider, emergency vehicle technicians and public information officer­ – the deci­sion makers in the pur­chasing of products and ser­vices. A large majority of conference attendees are deci­sion makers or have influence on depart­mental purchases.

Show Dates
