FABTECH will break from its normal rotation of U.S. cities next year, locating the 2024 event in Orlando, Fla. The event will take place from Oct. 15-17 at the Orange County Convention Center.
The 2024 show had originally been scheduled for Las Vegas, but a Formula 1 Grand Prix race is scheduled for the city that week, which will bring more than 100,000 potential visitors. Instead, Las Vegas will host the 2026 event from Oct. 21-23.
Event organizers said Orlando can accommodate FABTECH’s size and scope and has excellent facilities and a modern convention center. It has experience hosting large manufacturing trade shows, has numerous hotels within walking distance and a nearby airport accessible for U.S. and international travelers.
The 2023 event will be held Sept. 11-14 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
