The FADRA Convention returns to Orlando in 2024 at the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista. 

We will have more than 100 decision makers from the Florida auto recycling industry, and we expect to have several more Southeastern yards come down as well. Neil Harrow of Green Star Auto Recyclers will be our keynote speaker to headline a superb roster of industry speakers, including Lee Worman and Miranda Wroten of AESOP Auto Parts, Bill Stevens of Fenix Parts, Sue Schauls of the Iowa Auto Recyclers Association, and Roger Schroder of Car-Part.com. Starting with the opening night get-together--a yard tour, barbecue, and catalytic converter auction at Green Star--we will have several opportunities for you to gather with your customers in a casual environment as well as in the action-packed trade show. Florida hosts one of the best auto recycling meetings in the U.S.

The exhibit hall will have 40 booths this year, and they will go quickly. Space will not be assigned until the exhibit contract and payment in full has been received. Sponsorships and exhibit spaces don’t last very long. Make sure that your company is represented!
