Hotel Reservation Information
Waiting List:
Due to the quantity of hotels in Orlando, and early access to rooms/suites for sponsors, some hotels may have limited availability. Once you secure a hotel reservation, you may email ifpahotels@expovision.com and request to be on the waitlist for a more preferred hotel. You must have an existing reservation in order to be on the waitlist.
To receive the negotiated group rate, you must make your reservations through the official IFPA Hotel Reservation Office (Expovision) or through the IFPA website. Expovision is IFPA's ONLY housing provider. Please avoid third parties who may reach out and offer discounted rooms.

Hospitality Suites
IFPA has adopted the following policies related to hospitality suites used by industry members during our convention.
Hours for major hospitality (12 or more people) are restricted to the following:
- Thursday, Oct. 27 after 8:30 p.m.
- Friday, Oct. 28 after 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday, Oct. 29 after 5:00 p.m.
Non-exhibiting companies may not use a hospitality suite as an exhibit booth. IFPA reserves the option of denying future hospitality suites to companies that violate these policies.
Suites
Suites are booked upon request through Expovision and are based on hotel availability. Please email ifpahotels@expovision.com if you'd like to check suite availability.
Hotel Warnings
Please be aware of housing poachers that have been contacting exhibitors about booking hotel rooms for The Global Produce & Floral Show. We are NOT working with any outside companies to provide housing details, nor do we provide them with your contact information. Please ignore these pirating emails/calls. Expovision is the only company that is officially sanctioned by IFPA to book hotel rooms on behalf of its exhibitors and attendees as the IFPA Housing Office. Those who opt for alternatives to the IFPA negotiated rates may find themselves at risk.
Rooms should be reserved and confirmed only through Expovision to ensure that your reservations are guaranteed and that you receive the discounted group rates negotiated by IFPA. IFPA and the official Housing Office can only assist guests prior to and onsite that have booked rooms within the official room blocks.
