The International BoatBuilders' Exhibition & Conference will offer thousands of the newest products and innovations expanding over three floors and two sold out exhibit halls for 7,000+ marine industry professionals to explore in three days from Tuesday, Oct. 4 – Thursday, Oct. 6 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla. IBEX, the largest North American trade event for boat building, design and maintenance, will offer 550+ exhibiting companies – of which over 100 are new, as well as valuable networking events and educational opportunities.

"Two expanded exhibit halls will offer our attendees thousands of new products in four distinct areas within the Tampa Convention Center, and we encourage those registering to stay for all three days, as there will be more ways to explore, learn, and connect than ever before," said Anne Dunbar, IBEX show director. "The show has expanded in every way and since we will be back in Tampa we will once again be offering the IBEX Docks full of boats and the interactive outdoor demonstration area."
