Visitor registration for IBEX 2023 now open
Registration for the International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) is now open. IBEX 2023 is taking place at the recently renovated Tampa Convention Centre from 3-5 October 2023.
Organisers say that IBEX 2023 will offer more than 680 exhibitors spread throughout three exhibit halls, docks, and outdoor displays. IBEX’s 1st and 2nd-floor exhibit halls will showcase products and services from companies new to the show and the industry, including the new sustainable technology pavilion, featuring products designed to reduce carbon emissions, empower cleaner processes for propulsion, and promote a more sustainable future.
The 3rd floor will feature specialty pavilions, including the composites pavilion; the compliance, standards, and education pavilion; and the NMEA-connected electronics pavilion. The international pavilions for 2023 will highlight Italian, French, and Australian exhibitors. New products entered in the Innovation Awards program will be displayed at Innovation Way, located on the 2nd floor of the Tampa Convention Centre, throughout the show.
“Technology is advancing so quickly, and there is no better place than IBEX for all marine professionals to see what’s new and what’s next for the boating industry,” says Anne Dunbar, IBEX show director. “Our exhibitors are eager to display their latest and greatest innovations, many with a significant wow factor. We are confident it will be our best show in years.”
Last year’s IBEX was cancelled due to the imminent arrival of Hurricane Ian. The devastation that the hurricane caused was widespread.
As well as an education conference, the full schedule of events includes a career day, exhibit hall happy hour, industry breakfast, keynote, and Innovation Awards presentation.
