A historic first
After five sold-out editions in Europe, Sports & Events crosses the Atlantic and lands in the United States.
Sports & Events America 2026 brings together national and international buyers — event rights holders, sports travel agencies and tour operators, training camp organisers, team travel managers and MICE and incentive planners — and sits them down with national and international destinations, hotels, venues and other industry partners.
Three and a half days of 1-to-1 meetings and curated networking will bring your organisation more contacts and potential business than months of scattered meetings, emails and calls.
Kissimmee · The destination
Kissimmee sits just south of Orlando, which welcomed a record 76.7 million visitors in 2025 and has the sporting track record to match, as Orlando has hosted NBA Finals games, FIFA World Cup matches and, more recently, FIFA Club World Cup matches. Kissimmee, minutes from the theme parks, adds 12 sports venues and facilities, more than 50,000 accommodations and an average year-round temperature of 22 °C (72 °F).
That makes it the right base for the first Sports & Events America, as buyers and suppliers meet one-to-one at Reunion Resort, the only place in the world with signature golf courses by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. For buyers building sports trips to North America, Kissimmee becomes a destination they can sell from experience.
Accommodations & Venue
The hotel and venue chosen to host our programme are less than a 10-minute drive from each other.
Hosted Buyers stay at Meliá Orlando Celebration, a 4★ resort in Celebration (Kissimmee), minutes from Reunion Resort & Golf Club, where meetings and most of our sports activities will take place.
Suppliers have access to exclusive rates to stay in the same hotel as Hosted Buyers.
