The countdown is on for Florida Restaurant Show 2026, the Florida Hospitality Event for Restaurants, Foodservice and Lodging,, staged in Orlando, United States from 25 October 2026 to 27 October 2026 and set to gather the sector under one roof. Drawing exhibitors and trade visitors from across the supply chain, it offers a focused environment for sourcing and business development. Taking place every year, Florida Restaurant Show 2026 has become a fixture on the industry calendar. Orange County Convention Center hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

Location matters, and Orlando delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Getting to Orlando is simple thanks to its airport links and well-developed local transport network. Rooms near the venue go quickly around the dates, but the wider city offers plenty of alternatives within easy reach. Between meetings and mingling, Orlando offers plenty to see, taste and explore on your own time. Few places in the United States are as well suited to hosting the international crowd this event attracts as Orlando.

The show brings together Restaurant Industry, Restaurant Technology, Food Service and Food & Beverage, giving buyers and sourcing professionals a single place to compare what the market has to offer. For buyers and sellers alike, it is a chance to do in a few days what would otherwise take months of separate meetings. From organised meetups to spontaneous conversations, the room is built for making connections. Behind the scenes, Restaurant Events manage the moving parts so attendees never have to think about them. Co-located with Pizza Tomorrow 2026, it forms part of a larger gathering at Orange County Convention Center.

Few events pack so many sourcing and networking opportunities into so few days. For wholesalers, retailers and the suppliers who serve them, Florida Restaurant Show 2026 remains a valuable opportunity to source, connect and keep pace with the market.

Whether you attend for a single day or the full run, planning your visit in advance helps you make the most of your time on site.
