Exhibit Hall Open House

Vibrant Exhibit Hall brightens Orlando conference

H undreds of the leading organizations in corrections descended on the Orange County Convention Center Exhibit Halls WE 1 & 2 for ACA’s 2025 Winter Conference. Conference goers packed the busy aisles look ing at the latest technology from cutting-edge providers, networking with key decision makers and getting new ideas for problems faced by cor rections officials across the nation. Exhibitors had a wide array of displays and many hands-on demonstrations allowing con ference goers to experience all the best in new technology. Tables were filled to capacity for the Exhibit Hall luncheon as conference goers spent this time exchanging ideas gleaned from the many workshops and sessions they had already attended.

A very popular part of the exhibit hall was the Demo Lounge. Both Sunday and Monday, exhibitors show cased some new products and gave impressed corrections officials hands-on demonstrations of their technology. “It’s so helpful to see this stuff in action,” said one conference goes as they left one of the Monday demo lounge sessions. “You really get a feel for how it would work in your facility.” The exhibit hall in Denver for the 155 th Congress of Correction promises to be even larger and more active with many more top of the line companies and organizations already slated to appear.
