Coming Soon!

This website is currently receiving a major overhaul and will be re-launched mid-April, 2013.

The next Florida Huddle will be held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center on January 14 – 16, 2014. Registration to exhibit and to attend will open in May and July, 2013, respectively.

We have established discounted group rates at several hotels in the immediate area of the Convention Center. Further information regarding accommodations will be published in mid-April.

What's New?

In 2013, VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official tourism marketing corporation, acquired Florida Huddle and made several exciting changes. Just to mention a few: Florida Huddle now features two full days of appointments, an open evening for suppliers and buyers to connect on their own and an updated registration and scheduling process. For more information, please see the schedule of events or contact one of your Florida Huddle team members.
