The Motorcycle Industry Council has announced that AIMExpo will return to Orlando, Florida, March 3-5, 2027, bringing North America's largest powersports trade show back to its original host city. This marks a significant shift for the industry, with the MIC having produced the event since its inception in 2013.
AIMExpo has evolved into a business-focused event featuring dealer education, product launches, networking opportunities, and industry-wide collaboration. The announcement follows what organizers described as a successful 2026 show in Anaheim, California, which showcased the event's growing importance in the powersports sector.
The return of AIMExpo to Orlando is timely, given the rapidly changing markets, technology, and legislation that the industry is navigating. Organizers are confident that this move will help to foster a sense of community and connection among attendees.
Returning features for AIMExpo 2027 include the AIMExpo Industry Party, powered by Turn 14 Distribution; AIMExpo Starting Line, featuring complimentary coffee from Automatic Distributors; and the Dealer Tech Zone, powered by Transax Digital Retail. These elements will continue to provide valuable networking opportunities and business connections.
Organizers are also planning to expand experiences beyond the convention center, including a VIP Supercross experience tied to Daytona Supercross weekend and Daytona Bike Week. This move is expected to enhance the overall attendee experience and create memorable moments for industry professionals.
The response to the Anaheim Supercross experience was incredible, with attendees praising the unique event format. Organizers are building on this success by developing another VIP experience that will further showcase the powersports industry's passion and community.
Participation is already shaping up to be strong, with major OEMs, distributors, and hundreds of aftermarket companies expected to exhibit. This diverse range of exhibitors will provide a wealth of opportunities for networking and business connections.
Additional details regarding registration, exhibitor participation, and educational programming are expected to be announced in the coming months. As the event approaches, industry professionals can look forward to another exciting and memorable experience at AIMExpo 2027.
The return of AIMExpo to its original host city in Orlando marks a significant shift for the industry, with organizers planning to build on the momentum from the 2026 Anaheim event. With expanded experiences and strong participation expected, the 2027 event is poised to be an unforgettable experience for all involved.
