Registration is now open for the 2026 Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo, set for Aug. 12–13 at the waterfront Caloosa Sound Convention Center in downtown Fort Myers.
The Expo has earned a reputation as a top event for commercial producers. The event brings together citrus and specialty crop growers, allied industry companies, researchers and industry leaders for two days of education and networking.
EDUCATION AND EASY ACCESS
Educational programming will once again be a core component of the Expo, with sessions designed to address current production challenges and emerging trends affecting citrus and specialty crop operations. The program focuses on the issues that matter most in day-to-day operations. Complete details about the seminar sessions are coming soon.
Expert-led seminars will take place inside the exhibit hall, allowing growers to move easily between learning and meeting with suppliers. The seminar space is fully enclosed to provide a focused learning environment, while still keeping attendees connected to the trade show floor. This layout ensures growers can maximize their time, whether attending sessions, visiting exhibitors or networking with fellow producers.
The move to the Caloosa Sound Convention Center provides a modern, streamlined setting with easy access, high visibility and convenient walkability. Everything — education, exhibits and networking — is under one roof, making it easy to stay productive throughout the event.
