Question 1

What exactly is MeetDrop?

Accepted Answer

A lead capture app for the two days your hall is actually open. You photograph a distributor's card and say one sentence about what they asked for; MeetDrop pulls out the name, company and the ask, writes the follow-up in your voice, and sends it when you press Send. On a show with eleven and a half hours of floor time, that is the difference between following up on everyone and following up on the ones you can still remember on Friday.

Question 2

When and where is ASI Show Orlando 2027?

Accepted Answer

ASI Show Orlando 2027 runs January 5 to 7, 2027 at the Orange County Convention Center, South Building, Hall A, 9899 International Drive, Orlando. Note the shape of it: January 5 is Education day with no exhibits, and the hall is open only on January 6 from 10am to 5pm and January 7 from 10am to 2:30pm.

Question 3

How many days is the ASI Show Orlando exhibit hall actually open?

Accepted Answer

Two, and not full ones. The hall opens 10am–5pm on January 6 and 10am–2:30pm on January 7 — about eleven and a half hours in total. January 5 is Education day and the exhibits are closed. For exhibitors that compresses an entire show's worth of conversations into two short days, which is exactly why same-day follow-up matters more here than at a four-day show.

Question 4

How big is ASI Show Orlando?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 edition fielded 572 booths, including 39 first-time exhibitors, with attendees from nearly all 50 states and 15 countries. Nine distributor companies — among them HALO Branded Solutions, AIM Smarter/ACS, iPROMOTEu and Proforma — also held their own sales meetings around the 2026 Orlando show.

Question 5

What is the ASI Passport programme?

Accepted Answer

A programme ASI runs free for its distributor and decorator members, in which attendees visit participating exhibitors to answer a question at each stand. If you are exhibiting on it, you will meet a high volume of people in short bursts — the hardest kind of conversation to write up afterwards, and the kind a voice note handles best.

Question 6

When is exhibitor setup?

Accepted Answer

Setup for the 2027 edition runs January 4 from 12pm to 5pm, and January 5 from 8am to 5pm — the same day as the Education programme.

Question 7

What does MeetDrop cost?

Accepted Answer

Free to start: unlimited leads, with 10 AI follow-up emails a month written and sent for you. An Event Pass is $49 for one show: 200 AI follow-up emails, for 30 days from the first one, with replies coming back to your own address. Pro is $99 a month, or $79 billed annually, for unlimited AI follow-ups, sending from your own domain, lead scoring and CRM sync. Team is $199 with three seats, which is the one to look at if you are running a stand with a crew. Ten Pro and ten Team plans are free for this show through January 31.

Question 8

Does ASI Show Orlando have an official badge scanner for exhibitors?

Accepted Answer

ASI offers exhibitor lead retrieval through its own portal, and it reads what is printed on the badge. It does not know that this distributor asked about 24-hour turnaround on a 500-unit order, which is the part that makes your follow-up worth opening. MeetDrop captures the conversation alongside the scanner, and can import the scanner's export afterwards so you end with one list rather than two.

Question 9

How soon should I follow up after ASI Show Orlando?

Accepted Answer

The same day, from the show. Most trade show leads never get a meaningful follow-up, and exhibitors who wait more than a week see reply rates fall sharply against those who reach out within two days. Your lead walked 572 booths in two short days. The first specific email is the one that gets remembered.

Question 10

Can attendees use MeetDrop at ASI Show Orlando, or only exhibitors?

Accepted Answer

Both, and at this show the distinction matters more than usual. January 5 is Education day with the hall shut, so attendees are meeting each other and the suppliers they already know, with no badge scanner anywhere in sight — a voice note is the only thing that captures it. On the 6th and 7th the exhibitors take over. The free offer has ten spots for each side.

Question 11

What does free for ASI Show Orlando include and how do I claim it?

Accepted Answer

Ten attendees get Pro and ten stands get Team, free from the day they claim through January 31, 2027. Post publicly on LinkedIn or X that you are going to ASI Show Orlando and mention MeetDrop, then paste the link in the form on this page. A person checks it and switches the plan on within one business day. No card. On February 1 the account returns to Free and every lead you captured stays in it.

Question 12

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. It runs in your phone's browser — which matters when half your crew is staffing a stand in South Hall A and nobody has a laptop out. Sign in with Google or an emailed code, set ASI Show Orlando as your event, and the capture screen is ready. There is an iOS app if you prefer one.
