Stop hoping for a good show. Guarantee it with Divinitas Designs & Displays. The sportfishing industry is fiercely competitive, and the show floor is a battleground where generic, off-the-shelf booths simply disappear.
We don’t just build booths; we engineer certainty for marketing leaders who cannot afford a ‘maybe’ on show day. Your trade show budget is an investment, and we ensure it pays dividends through strategic design and flawless execution. By transforming a stressful obligation into a powerful marketing opportunity, we deliver compelling brand experiences that capture the attention of tackle buyers, media, and distributors.
Venue & Logistics: ICAST at Orange County Convention Center
ICAST 2026 brings the global sportfishing community to the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, Florida. Managing a major exhibit in a venue of this scale demands precise coordination, which is where our home-field advantage becomes your greatest asset. Divinitas Designs & Displays operates a 44,000-square-foot fabrication and staging facility located exactly five miles from the OCCC. This immediate proximity dramatically reduces your shipping costs, adds extra time to your exhibit refinement schedule, and allows our entire support team to provide rapid, on-site response during the course of the show. We manage all the complex logistics—from shipping and setup to dismantling and storage—so you can focus entirely on connecting with buyers.

Custom Exhibit Design for Sportfishing products
Sportfishing products require hands-on engagement; buyers want to feel the action of a new rod, inspect the engineering of a reel, or see the profile of an innovative lure. We craft Custom Trade Show Booth Designs that transform your allotted space into an immersive brand experience rather than just a physical space. Whether you need specialized racking systems for high-end rods, dedicated product demonstration stations, or private conference rooms to close distribution deals, we engineer solutions built for active engagement. Our objective-driven approach ensures every square foot of your exhibit actively supports your brand narrative and sales targets, commanding attention from any vantage point on the show floor.
Pricing & Planning: Your Full-Service Solution Partner
Stop paying for ‘estimated’ costs and start investing in guaranteed outcomes. Marketing Directors fear budget overruns more than bad design, which is exactly why we built the Divinitas Certainty™ Program. This proprietary 4-point quality assurance framework delivers audit-proof billing with a no-excuses, no-surprises guarantee. You receive transparent, detailed quotes, eliminating the hidden fees and drayage shock that plague the trade show industry.
Furthermore, we recognize that your exhibit is not merely a three-day expense—it is a 3-Month Marketing Opportunity. We align your physical build with a strategic methodology that treats the trade show as a comprehensive campaign, extending the lifespan of your investment well before attendees arrive and long after the show closes.
