Why this week is different
The attractions industry's annual show at the largest exhibition facility in the United States.
Venue. Orange County Convention Center.
Booking advice. The OCCC has two campuses connected by a pedestrian bridge. Drop-off at the wrong campus is a fifteen-minute walk with a case.
What we provide during IAAPA Expo
- Airport meets on the peak arrival and departure days, with a greeter desk for larger programmes
- Executive sedans and SUVs for individual and small-group movement
- Sprinters that keep a delegation together between the venue, the hotel and the customer dinner
- Published-interval shuttle loops between hotel blocks and the venue, reinforced at the two peaks
- Hospitality staging for suites, offsites and after-parties with a curfew that is actually held
- Setup and teardown runs outside normal service hours for exhibitor crews
- Consolidated billing per programme, per exhibitor or per department
Getting around Orlando that week
Orlando is a convention city that happens to have theme parks. The Orange County Convention Center is the largest exhibition facility in the country by usable space and its calendar drives a market that is nothing like the leisure image of the city. Convention weeks bring executive sedans, Sprinters and coach shuttles; the parks bring SUVs and mini buses full of families.
Local note. Terminal C at MCO is a separate landside building. An arrival there with a car sent to Terminals A or B costs about twenty minutes and a phone call.
If the city is sold out, the nearest alternatives are within driving range: Port Canaveral (about 50 minutes), Tampa (about 1.5 hours), Miami (about 3.5 hours). We run those legs as fixed-fare city-to-city transfers.

Questions
IAAPA Expo: frequently asked
When is IAAPA Expo held?
Usually in November, at Orange County Convention Center. Exact dates move year to year and are set by the organiser, so the desk confirms the published dates before quoting.
How far ahead should I book transportation for IAAPA Expo?
The OCCC has two campuses connected by a pedestrian bridge. Drop-off at the wrong campus is a fifteen-minute walk with a case.
What vehicles are available during IAAPA Expo?
Executive sedans and SUVs for individual travel, executive Sprinters for delegations of up to fourteen, and mini buses and motorcoaches for shuttle blocks. Availability in this week is genuinely finite, so the class you get is the class you booked early.
Do you run shuttles during IAAPA Expo?
Yes — published-interval hotel-to-venue loops sized to your headcount, with vehicles added at the opening and closing peaks rather than run at full strength all day.
