For its eighth annual show, the Florida International Audio Expo returns February 20–22, 2026, to the Sheraton Tampa Brandon Hotel. Attendees from around the globe will converge in Tampa to explore more than 100 exhibit spaces, learn from industry leaders in seminars, and enjoy live music throughout the weekend.
“The opportunity to audition your favorite brands and engage directly with company representatives remains a vital part of the buying and showgoing experience,” says Bart Andeer, FIAE’s director of show operations. “It’s no surprise that we’ve seen over 40% growth in the past two years. Our show continues to attract leading brands from around the globe, and the addition of the car-audio community brings even more opportunities for music lovers to connect and experience high-performance sound here in the sunshine state.”
FIAE 2026 welcomes many returning exhibitors: ATC Loudspeakers, AudioNote UK, Chesky Audio, Focal Naim, Gershman Acoustics, Next Level HiFi, Oneiros Audio, Pass Labs, Playback Distribution, SVS Audio, VAC, and more.
For the second year, FIAE will spotlight premium car audio with an invitational sound-quality competition featuring top-tier competitors from across the U.S. Attendees can audition these amazing systems and participate in educational seminars all made possible through a collaborative partnership among three leading car-audio organizations: Florida Sound Quality, IASCA Worldwide, and SQology.
Ample parking is available onsite, with overflow parking available through the weekend. Additionally, the Sheraton Tampa Brandon has made significant improvements to its lobby area, including new seating areas and a Starbucks set to open later this year. The Sheraton also offers complimentary shuttle rides to any destination within three miles of the hotel, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
