The official website does not publish a specific attendance figure. Third-party trade-show listings describe ICAST as an annual exhibition that draws over 15,000 industry professionals globally, including manufacturers, retailers, professional anglers and media.
ICAST is a trade-only event, so registrants must demonstrate that both their company and they as individuals are currently active in the fishing and outdoor trade industries. Attendees register online in advance for a badge and then pick it up in person at the ICAST Registration Desk, located near the main entrance in the Orange County Convention Center's South Concourse. For the 2026 edition, online registration has closed and in-person registration is available at the event. Exhibitors must be ASA members. Review the Badge Categories and Badge Requirements pages on the official site to confirm eligibility before registering.
ICAST is organized by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA), the sportfishing industry's trade association, which advocates for the recreational fishing and boating industries. The 2026 edition marks the show's 68th year, and ICAST continues to be described by the ASA as the place where the industry's most valuable business relationships are born, strengthened and celebrated. It has grown into what is widely regarded as the world's largest sportfishing trade show, with the New Product Showcase serving as the industry's benchmark for innovation.
Detailed exhibitor list is being compiled. Check back soon or visit the official show website for the most current information.
