The trade show IFTD is coming up quickly, and AFFTA is thrilled with the feedback they are getting. Exhibitors are excited to attend — booth space sold out months ago, setting a new record — and it seems the industry is ready to hit Orlando once more.

As you’re setting up your IFTD schedules, be sure to save room for the NEW Demo Day and the ever-popular New Product Showcase Preview Reception. You can view the full 2016 IFTD schedule here.

NEW THIS YEAR – IFTD Demo Day
AFFTA will be hosting a Demo Day at the Ritz Carlton at Grande Lakes Tuesday, July 12 from 9am to noon, with lunch to follow. The inaugural IFTD Demo Day will allow media and retailers the opportunity to catch trophy bass using various manufacturer’s products. Twelve pond locations will be available for IFTD exhibiting companies to sponsor, and participating attendees will be utilizing golf carts to access the sponsored locations. This is a great opportunity for members of the press to talk directly with manufacturers one-on-one about their product outdoors, on the water, in a live fishing scenario. This event will fill up quickly – if you want to fish it’s FREE, but you must sign up by emailing callie@affta.org.
