ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Inside IDDBA - Sunscreen, Samples, and Strategy: Your #IDDBA2026 Guide
In this mini episode of Fresh Take with IDDBA, Kat Shanahan is joined by IDDBA Marketing Manager Cara Petrie for a practical, day-by-day guide to making the most of #IDDBA2026 in Orlando.
With the show just days away, Kat and Cara walk through what attendees should know before they arrive, from picking up badges early and planning around general sessions to navigating the show floor, visiting What's in Store Live, exploring the New Product Showcase, and making time for networking opportunities like the Monday Night Party. They also share practical survival tips for the Orlando heat and a busy show floor to help you make the most of all three days of the show.
Whether you're attending IDDBA for the first time like Kat or a returning veteran, this episode will still be sure to give you something to think about, help your planning, and arrive ready for IDDBA's annual event.
We can't wait to see you in Orlando for #IDDBA2026, June 7-9! Check out the schedule to plan your show today! https://www.iddba.org/iddba-show
