The 2024 Florida Citrus Show is not your average trade show. The show will be hosted at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Indian River Research and Education Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory in Ft. Pierce, FL. Seminars will be packed with the newest information for growers, and more than 50 top agricultural companies will be exhibiting at the tailgate in between seminar sessions. The tailgate hub is located at the center of the show, filled with cold drinks, food and tailgate games.

Come ready to eat! Breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m. Enjoy breakfast while networking with exhibitors before the general session at 9:00 a.m. After some informative educational sessions, join the tailgate party at 11:10 a.m. A complimentary BBQ lunch will be available for all attendees. There will be plenty of food to fuel up for the day as exhibitors will be sharing their favorite tailgate dishes for sampling! Be sure to stop by every booth so you can choose your favorite tailgate food. Growers will have the opportunity to win a $500 cash prize by voting for the exhibitor they think should be the tailgate food champion. That’s not all! Catch up with fellow growers over a game of corn hole.

Concurrent citrus and vegetable sessions will begin after the tailgate party at 2:00 p.m. Be sure to stay all day for educational sessions featuring experts from UF/IFAS and USDA.
