The New York Pro to be Held in Tampa, Florida for the 2020 Show

The 2020 NY Pro has been moved.

A major shake up has occurred for the annual New York Pro show. While the event is usually held in New Jersey, it appears that due to the global health crisis, there has been a switch in location.

The 2020 NY Pro will now take place in Tampa, Florida. The move was possible made due to the success of the recent Tampa Pro show. This comes after an announcement earlier this year postponing the event – which usually takes place in May. Confirmation came from the official Bev Francis Instagram page.

The New York Pro often sports some of the biggest names in the industry competing or, at the very least, spectating. Last year’s was no different with Juan Morel landing first place.
