ICAST 2027 in Orlando — Sportfishing Trade Show

ICAST is the flagship trade show of the American Sportfishing Association and the largest sportfishing industry gathering in the world. For four days each July, manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and media converge on the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando to unveil the products that will define the next fishing season. The show floor spans every category of the sportfishing market: rods and reels, lures and terminal tackle, apparel, marine electronics, kayaks and paddle craft, and the outdoor gear that supports them. Many brands choose ICAST to debut their most-anticipated new releases, making the show a must for retail buyers planning next year's inventory. Beyond the exhibit hall, ICAST hosts the New Product Showcase, industry awards, demonstrations, and a packed schedule of buyer-seller meetings. The event is trade-only, so attendees arrive ready to write orders and build partnerships rather than browse as consumers. If you're traveling in for ICAST, staying close to the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive saves time between meeting rooms, the show floor, and evening networking events. Booking early is strongly recommended — Orlando in mid-July fills up fast.
