With Hurricane Matthew projected to move north along eastern Florida through Friday, October 7, here is an update on any potential impact to the schedule for AIMExpo.

The latest weather forecast as of Thursday afternoon, October 6 for Orlando indicates the storm’s direct impact will be concentrated locally through Thursday evening and all day Friday of this week.

AIMExpo operations staff is on the ground in Florida and monitoring the situation closely, and at this time we anticipate no effect on the show’s operations timetable. Targeted exhibitors who are scheduled to move in on Monday, October 10 and may be travelling on Sunday, October 9 should check individual airlines flight schedules.
