ICAST Orlando

ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades) is the world’s largest and most influential trade show dedicated to sportfishing. Each year, the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, transforms into the international hub of an industry committed to sustainable and innovative fishing practices. As a strictly B2B platform, the show targets a specialized professional audience— including retailers, manufacturers, media representatives, and key decision-makers from industry and environmental organizations.

Organized by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA)—the leading organization in the United States for the protection and promotion of recreational fishing—ICAST brings together suppliers and buyers, while also advancing key developments in the sportfishing sector through its extensive industry experience.

ICAST showcases the latest products, technologies, and services related to angling. The spotlight is on modern gear such as rods, reels, fish finders, kayaks, lures, outdoor apparel, and innovative accessories. Attendees gain hands-on insights through live demonstrations during the On the Water Demo Day, at the ICASTing Pond, and in the Lure Tank, where equipment and techniques are tested under real-life conditions. The Fly Fishing Village offers a dedicated space for fly fishing enthusiasts.

A standout feature of the event is the New Product Showcase, widely regarded as the benchmark for innovation within the sportfishing industry.

Increasingly, ICAST places a strong emphasis on “Sustainable Innovation in Sportfishing,” reflecting a growing awareness of environmentally friendly products and practices. Expert presentations and seminars deliver up-to-date knowledge on industry trends, market analysis, customer engagement, and sales strategies.

Florida is one of the most important regions for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, providing an ideal setting for this international event. The Orange County Convention Center is easily accessible and offers extensive parking—a practical advantage for exhibitors and attendees from around the world.

ICAST is more than just a trade show—it is a vibrant gathering of a global community dedicated to quality, innovation, and the future of sportfishing.

The ICAST will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 15. July to Friday, 18. July 2025 in Orlando.
