    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    The 2027 EXPO is a three-day regional industry gathering built around CEU education, business classes, a two-day exhibit hall and networking. Its scale is planning-estimated at about 80 exhibitors and 900 attendees because the organiser did not publish counts.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    The audience is narrow but senior: owners, managers, office professionals, sales staff and operations teams from Florida pest management firms. That mix gives exhibitors access to budget holders and day-to-day users in the same conversation.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    Best ROI comes from demo-led conversations, software and equipment trials, and booked follow-ups. With short exhibit hours, exhibitors should pre-book meetings and capture leads electronically rather than rely on walk-by traffic.

    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    Florida, United States

    Why it matters

    Florida's warm, humid climate supports year-round pest pressure, so pest management is a large and recurring service market. The FPMA EXPO gives suppliers a concentrated regional audience of owners, managers and operations staff who buy chemicals, equipment, software and business services.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Consolidation and professional management

    Independent Florida pest control firms are increasingly competing with regional and national consolidators, raising the value of management, recruiting and customer-retention skills.

    What it changes: Owners and managers attend for business education that helps them compete beyond technical pest control.

    Source
    02

    Software-led field operations

    Routing, scheduling, customer portals and mobile reporting are becoming core operating tools for pest control companies of all sizes.

    What it changes: Software vendors can demonstrate time savings and lead capture directly to operations and office staff.

    Source
    03

    CEU and licensing pressure

    Technicians and business owners need continuing education across pest categories and safety topics to maintain credentials and service quality.

    What it changes: CEU-approved education is a primary attendance driver and gives suppliers a natural reason to sponsor sessions.

    When is the FPMA Business and Operations EXPO 2027?
    The FPMA Business and Operations EXPO 2027 runs January 27–29, 2027 at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek in Orlando, Florida. The official FPMA calendar lists a daily event window of 7:00 am to 8:30 pm, with the exhibit hall open January 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and January 28 from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm.
    Where is the FPMA EXPO 2027 held?
    The 2027 EXPO is held at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, 14100 Bonnet Creek Resort Lane, Orlando, Florida 32821. The exhibit hall is Floridian D-I. The resort sits inside the Bonnet Creek area near Walt Disney World, about 20 miles from Orlando International Airport.
    Is the FPMA Business and Operations EXPO free?
    No 2027 attendee price was published on the fetched FPMA pages, so the cost cannot be confirmed. Registration is handled through the official FPMA event page. The event is designed for pest management professionals and industry staff rather than the general public, and attendees should check the registration page for current member and non-member rates.
    Who should attend the FPMA EXPO 2027?
    The EXPO is built for pest management professionals across the company: owners and executives, managers and supervisors, office and administrative staff, sales and marketing teams, operations staff, and technicians who want to grow their skills. Teams are encouraged to bring several roles and divide time between education sessions, the exhibit hall and networking.
    What education is offered at the FPMA EXPO?
    FPMA describes the EXPO as education that matters, with opportunities to earn CEUs and learn from speakers who understand pest management. The programme covers business and operations topics including leadership, hiring, customer service, marketing, operations and growth. A detailed 2027 session grid and speaker list were not published in the fetched pages.
    Who should exhibit at the FPMA Business and Operations EXPO?
    Suppliers that help pest management firms operate better are the best fit: chemicals and baits, sprayers and safety equipment, routing and CRM software, vehicle and tank upfits, insurance, financing, recruiting, training and marketing services. Exhibitors meet owners, managers and operations staff who influence purchasing decisions for Florida companies.
    What are the exhibit hall hours at the 2027 FPMA EXPO?
    The exhibit hall in Floridian D-I is open January 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and January 28 from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Exhibitor move-in is January 27 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm with no early access. Move-out begins after the hall closes, and the exhibitor post-conference runs January 28 from 4:30 to 5:00 pm.
    Is there a hotel room block for the FPMA EXPO 2027?
    Yes. FPMA arranged a discounted room block for EXPO attendees, exhibitors and sponsors at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. The official exhibitor page asks guests to reserve before January 5, 2027 to receive the group rate. Booking early is advisable because the January dates overlap Orlando's peak convention and theme-park season.
    What is the FPMA Golf Classic 2027?
    The FPMA Golf Classic opens EXPO week on Tuesday, January 26, 2027 with a 12:30 pm shotgun start at Waldorf Astoria Golf Club in Orlando. FPMA describes it as one of its favourite networking traditions and says the tournament is back for its second year, bringing members and industry partners together.
    How do I register as an exhibitor for the FPMA EXPO 2027?
    Start on the official FPMA 2027 exhibitor page and complete exhibitor registration, then reserve the hotel room, review the exhibitor service kit, order booth furnishings or electrical service, submit a high-resolution logo and register additional booth staff. Booth reservations and sponsorship questions are handled by FPMA headquarters at 407-295-7944.
