EVENTS
March 25-26th
by Stephen Tarpey
March 25th&26th saw the second
incarnation of the Orlando Vapor Show,
held at the Central Florida Fairgrounds
convention centre organised by Mark
Evans Jr. Who is also one of the
organisers for the world Vapor expo in
Miami, one of the biggest Vaping shows
internationally.
The Orlando shows are smaller and
more intimate than the annual World
Vapor Expo. This time about 50
exhibitors were present. The show got
off to a slow start with footfall quite low
on the first morning this was due to
these being B2B sessions, but even for
the B2B session it was a bit pedestrian.
Later in the afternoon it started to pick
116 ISSUE 05 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
up with more B2C people showing up.
Throughout the two days there was a
series of poker tournaments held on
the main stage, and a mini casino open
to showcase a new brand called vape
poker. All of this adding to the theatrics of
the show.
It was obvious that some of the vendors
invested heavily in their stands with
some beautifully designed stands on
offer from the exhibitors.
