That’s a wrap on Visit Florida Governor’s Conference 2024! For the third consecutive year, Media Stage provided AV support for this show’s general session, trade show and expo area, and multiple breakout rooms. This year, we traveled cross-state to the Tampa Convention Center. The venues over the last couple of years were both hotel ballrooms (in Boca Raton and Orlando, respectively).
