The Florida Sheriffs Association holds its Sheriffs 2027 Winter Conference January 24 through 26, 2027 at the World Equestrian Center, 1615 NW 81st Terrace Road in Ocala, Florida.
This is one of the association’s two major annual events for sheriffs. The FSA says sheriffs, command staff, sheriff’s office personnel, other law enforcement agency officials, partners and guests are all encouraged to attend. The association reports an average of about 470 attendees, including around 60 sheriffs.
The FSA describes the winter conference as a place for continuing education, networking, sharing best practices, association news, award recognition and important updates for Florida’s sheriffs and the people who work for them. With the legislative season right around the corner, it is a natural point in the year for agencies to compare notes on what is coming.
One thing to know before you plan a booth: the FSA states that the Sheriffs Winter Conference does not have exhibitor opportunities or a vendor hall. This one is about the work, not the expo floor. Vendors looking for sheriff’s office audiences should look at the association’s other conferences instead.
Ocala’s World Equestrian Center is a central location for agencies from every corner of the state. The venue’s phone number, listed by the FSA, is 352-414-7900. Conference updates are posted on the FSA conferences page, and the association offers an email list for conference notifications.
