Group Delegations Welcome!
We welcome the opportunity to work with you to organize a trade mission from your country for groups of boat builders and marine manufacturers who are interested in attending The International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference/ IBEX 2012.
Interested parties, specifically those dedicated to boat building, design, and repair, will learn about competitive new technologies—tools, methods, and materials—that are changing how boats are being built. IBEX is the most significant boat building trade event for new-technology, education, industry-wide communication, and sourcing opportunities. Each year thousands of professional boat builders, designers, repairers, surveyors, and boatyard & marina operators from throughout the world attend. IBEX is the only professional boat-building event to bring together the industry in such unparalleled numbers. Some of your members might already attend each year, and others are hoping for the opportunity.
Trade Mission Package and Promotional Opportunities
For groups of more than 10 boat builders, or others allied to the marine industry, that you bring with your group to IBEX, we can make the following benefits available.
- Three free passes for the world-renowned IBEX seminar series for verified boat builder, designer or repairer.
- Consultation with industry experts on new markets, compliance and regulations, import/export information.
