Food Truck Owners Expo (FTO Expo) is a two-day event for mobile food vendors to come meet with new and existing manufacturers/suppliers/food purveyors and service providers. Learn from experts in the industry and network with other owners.

This event is for the owners and operators of food trucks, mobile carts, pop-up restaurants, and anyone thinking of entering this expanding marketplace. We want you to leave your food at home and come learn, network, increase profits and help grow your business through education, new vendor resources and community building.

FTO Expo will be held at the Osceola Heritage Park, in Orlando, FL - November 12 – 13, 2024 (1875 Silver Spur Lane Kissimmee, FL 34744)

You have three parts of your Food Truck Business: the Truck, the Business, the Food Service. Right now, you are finding suppliers for all your needs through various sources – the internet, word of mouth, your friends. FTO Expo has all these sources – sources you know and sources you don’t – in one location : Food Services (Commissaries to food providers), Truck Services (truck manufacturers to wraps), and Business Services (POS Systems to Websites).
