IBEX one of best to date
USA: The International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), held in early October in Tampa, Florida exceeded expectations based on on-site traffic data and attendance figures. The three-day event saw packed aisles, full educational sessions and well-attended networking events.
The event welcomed more than 8,600 industry professionals from 70 countries. Boatbuilders checked in with the highest numbers, making up nearly 30% of visitors, and new product discovery was the top reason registrants reported for attending. Visitors were able to follow a Marina & Yard Route.
“We are thrilled with the participation and enthusiasm of visitors, exhibitors, educators and sponsors of this year’s event,” said IBEX show director Anne Dunbar. “Seeing the crowded aisles, and hearing from many exhibitors about the critical business that took place during the show was extremely satisfying. We want to thank everyone who was involved in helping IBEX 2023 be one of the best yet.”
