Orbital rates this event Gold.

AED Summit earns a Gold rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the construction industry. One of the top-rated events in this space — highly recommended for companies looking to grow their presence.

AED Summit 2026 is the annual gathering for the Associated Equipment Dealers community, bringing together equipment distributors, manufacturers, and construction industry professionals in Orlando, FL from January 25 to 27. Attendance typically runs in the thousands, making it a mid-scale event with a focused, industry-specific crowd rather than a broad trade show floor. The format centers on networking and community building, which means the real value comes from face time with peers and partners rather than product launches or technical sessions. Ticket pricing sits at a higher range, so attendees tend to be decision-makers with a genuine stake in the equipment distribution space. If you work in construction equipment, whether on the dealer or supplier side, and you want direct access to the people running these businesses, this is a reasonable place to show up.
