The 2026 Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo is returning Aug.12–13 to Fort Myers, bringing fresh opportunities for Florida growers to learn, connect and discover the latest innovations shaping the industry.
This year’s Expo will be held at the Caloosa Sound Convention Center in downtown Fort Myers, with the Luminary Hotel just steps away. The new waterfront venue features an updated layout where most educational seminars take place inside the trade show ballroom, separated by soundproof walls. That means attendees can easily move between seminar sessions and the exhibit hall without missing valuable educational content or time with exhibitors.
Growers can expect two days packed with practical information from researchers, industry experts and fellow producers. Seminar sessions will cover the latest citrus and specialty crop research, including trunk-injection for HLB management, emerging varieties and rootstocks, vegetable pest management, alternative crops and other timely production topics.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from Todd Wiseman Jr., producer of the upcoming “A Land Remembered” television series. His presentation will offer a behind-the-scenes look at bringing Patrick D. Smith’s beloved Florida novel to the screen while celebrating the state’s rich agricultural heritage. It’s a unique opportunity to hear how one of Florida’s most iconic stories is being reimagined for a new generation.
The trade show will feature leading agricultural companies showcasing the newest equipment, technologies, crop protection products, irrigation solutions and services designed to help growers improve efficiency and profitability.
Registration is complimentary for commercial growers, grove and farm owners and managers, certified crop advisers, university personnel, government representatives and grower association executives.
Whether you’re looking for the latest research, new products or valuable networking opportunities, the Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo is the place to prepare for the future of agriculture. Register now!
