ICAST 2020 Online July 13-17

It is that time of the year. The International Conventions of Allied Sportfishing Trades show is coming online this year. Wow, this is going to be an adventure. COVID-19 has caused the Orange County Convention Center to cancel all the trade shows for most of this year. ICAST was  one of the outdoor sports trade shows to fall victim to COVID-19. Having been to ICAST for the past ten years, there is no way you can out thousands of attendees and fishing sport brand exhibitors together and not be concerned with the Coronavirus being a big problem. As of today, Florida is experiencing and surge of new virus cases breaking daily records. 

This is the perfect time to have an online trade show. There is no way can attendees keep their social distance and get up close and personal with new fishing products. 

The ICAST show will be composed of virtual booths where exhibitors will present their new products and services, host virtual press conferences, and schedule live on-demand product demonstrations. Buyers can even set up virtual meetings. This year's ICAST is going to be a blast. I can see media blokes like myself sitting at my computer with snacks and a cold one visiting far more booths than I could ever do over the five day period walking the floor. It is going to be fun. Please check back after the  https://icastfishing.org/ICAST Virtual show is over to see what's new for 2021. 

Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great out doors.
