Florida Realtors to hold 2026 convention and trade expo Aug. 19-20 in Orlando
Florida Realtors says its 2026 Convention & Trade Expo will include education, a trade expo and a new Wealth Building Summit in Orlando next August.
Florida Realtors will hold its 2026 Convention & Trade Expo on Aug. 19-20 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, bringing real estate professionals from across the state together for education, networking and a trade expo.
The group said the event is intended to help agents and brokers adapt to changes in the business, including technology, fraud prevention and customer service. Florida Realtors President Chuck Bonfiglio Jr. said in the release that members who keep learning and adapting are best positioned to succeed.
What the event will include
The Aug. 11 PR Newswire release says the program will cover artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, marketing, lead generation, negotiation, productivity and customer service. It also says the convention will include Florida-specific education on issues tied to real estate transactions.
A new Wealth Building Summit is set for Aug. 19 and will be included with full convention registration, according to the release. Florida Realtors said the full-day program is intended to help attendees turn current income into long-term financial security.
The Trade Expo will feature more than 200 exhibitors showing products, services and technology, the release said. Convention week begins Aug. 18 with REBarCamp, which Florida Realtors describes as a peer-to-peer event where attendees choose topics and share strategies.
What Florida Realtors said
Bonfiglio, identified in the release as broker-owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation, said the convention gives members a chance to step away from day-to-day work, connect with other professionals and return with ideas they can use immediately. He said the event is about working smarter, growing business and serving customers better.
The release also said Florida Realtors will hold governance meetings Aug. 21-23 after the convention ends. Onsite registration will be available at Rosen Shingle Creek, and the group directed readers to its website for the full schedule and registration details.
Background
The release listed sponsors that include realtor associations, MLS groups, financial firms and technology vendors. Florida Realtors said it provides programs, services, continuing education, research and legislative representation to members across the state.
What happens next
The convention is scheduled to start Aug. 19, 2026, after REBarCamp opens convention week on Aug. 18.
