    Description

    Hello,

     

    The Central Florida Chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (CFC NIGP) will be holding its 27th Reverse Trade Show in Orlando, Florida on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. At a REVERSE Trade Show, Government Agency Representatives staff the booths as exhibitors and vendors move from booth-to-booth meeting with Agency Buyers and Administrators. Vendors have no booths to set up creating a low-cost alternative to a traditional trade show. Complete details (including registration and sponsorship opportunities) can be obtained at www.cfcnigp.org or www.govtradeshow.com.

     

    Vendors interested in doing business with governmental agencies throughout Central Florida are invited to meet with Purchasing Officials from over twenty-five local government agencies. No driving, no phone calls, no emails-just straight face to face meetings! Agencies at our Reverse Trade Show include Counties, Cities, School Boards/Universities, Public Utilities, Convention Center, Transportation, Aviation Authority, Law Enforcement, and Elected Officials.

    Background

    If you sell to government agencies, or want to, this is a MUST-ATTEND event!
