This year the Annual Southeastern Florida Wall & Ceiling Contractor’s Association Convention and Trade Show will take place at the OMNI Hotel at Champion’s Gate outside Orlando, Fla. The Champion’s Gate facility is best known for its quality golf courses and natural habitat that is home to hundreds of Florida wildlife species. The show dates for this year’s event are July 15-17, with the Trade Show being open on Friday,  July 15 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturday, July 16 from ll:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

In conjunction with this year’s show, there will be the Annual Golf Tournament on Friday, July 15 on the nationally renowned International Course. The organization will continue with its history of providing an excellent golf experience for all who register.   

In addition to the show and golf outing, the association is well known for its educational opportunities for contractors and field personnel alike. FWCCA is currently inviting industry manufacturers and service provides to take advantage of participating in its annual educational forum. Manufacturers are encouraged to present a one- or two-hour program on either July 15 or 16 to demonstrate new products, technological updates, standard reviews, etc., with the Florida members. For information on this educational opportunity, contact the FWCCA Executive Vice President Janice Ficarrotto at (407) 260-1313 for details and booking information.

Over the past years, the FWCCA show has hosted between 1,000 and 1,500 persons over the three-day event. The show is open to all contractors and industry affiliates at no charge. However, there is a full convention registration fee for any individual wishing to take advantage of the entire three-day event, which includes educational classes, social networking sessions, President’s Reception, lunch in the exhibit hall, and a fun Saturday night closing Theme Party. Golf is also open to all who wish to participate and registration forms for all events will appear on the FWCCA Web site around the first of March.
