Getting there

At 48 km (30 mi) from the centre of Lake Wales, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Lake Wales has 6 venues mapped in total and a population of 17,798. The Lake Wales guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
As a fairground this is built for floors rather than seats — exhibitions, trade shows and multi-track conferences where the hall is subdivided. Ask for the hall sheet with column spacing and load-in doors before you commit to a booth plan.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
