Concrete Exhibitor Snubs Convention Center for Gaylord Palms Resort

ORLANDO-INCOM Southeast Show & Conference, a new venture by Orlando-based Florida Concrete & Products Association, debuts Oct. 2-5 in 100,000 sf rented meeting/exhibition space at the $450 million, 1,406-room Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, FL, five miles from Walt Disney World.

INCOM expects 6,000 attendees and is renting the space for an estimated three years at the 65-acre resort.

The exhibitor is bypassing the nearby 1.1 million-sf Orange County Convention Center where officials say the show wouldn’t receive the same high exposure because of the convention center’s size, according to a published report.
