On the heels of its biggest show to date, the Florida International Audio Expo has announced date and venue changes for next year’s show, which is set to take place Friday–Sunday, February 21–23, 2025, at the Sheraton Tampa Brandon Hotel.
“We’ve had a tremendous run with the Embassy Suites, and we appreciate their taking a chance with us as a new show in 2018, coupled with the unique challenges of hosting an audio show,” says Bart Andeer, managing partner, Florida International Audio Expo. “There aren’t many venues that want to deal with such an event, and the team at Embassy Suites did a wonderful job of accommodating us as best they could. But we’ve steadily grown our attendee and exhibitor participation, and have simply outgrown that venue. Our new venue will offer more options for larger exhibitor spaces and a suitable marketplace area. We sold out of 2024 exhibitor space ahead of schedule, and had to turn away several companies due to the lack of options. We anticipate welcoming many more new companies to the exhibitor mix in 2025, as well as the return of many of our amazing current partners.”
According to the Florida International Audio Expo, ticket prices will remain unchanged: Single-day admission, $25; admission for all three days, $35; and free admission for students, children, and spouses.
The audiophile show adds the Sheraton Tampa Brandon offers a complimentary shuttle to any destination within three miles of the hotel, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Hotel reservations will be available soon.
