Launched in 1992 by Professional BoatBuilder magazine, IBEX is the only trade show in the world dedicated exclusively to the education and purchasing needs of professional boat builders, designers, repairers, surveyors, and boatyard and marina managers. Each year thousands of marine professionals attend to see and source the very latest products and technologies that will enable them build, repair, or restore a boat, better, faster, and for less cost. IBEX is the only annual professional boatbuilding event to bring together the industry in such unparalleled numbers. Does your company offer competitive new technologies—tools, methods, or materials—that are changing how boats are being built? If yes, your company will profit by exhibiting at IBEX.
Booth locations are assigned on a first-come, first served basis. Don’t delay—mail or fax your space application today!

What Exhibitors and Attendees had to say about IBEX 2007
IBEX Exhibitor comments
“I’m a believer in sharing both the positive and the negative but I have to admit that IBEX has a very strong tendency to the positive. I love that show! Two years ago at IBEX, I got in touch with a major boat builder and the result now is that they are using our material on a smaller scale, and we have a test boat running for bigger applications that will be decided in fall. As a result of our contact with this boat builder, we were able to expand our business with several other boat builders that were owned by the same large holding company. This can be directly contributed to our participation at IBEX!! IBEX is the right place to meet the right people.”
“Australian companies have drawn serious interest in their products at IBEX which we have found to be an essential marketing event when planning to do business within the USA.” ~Australian Marine Export Group (AIMEX) CEO Mary Anne Edwards.
“We’ve found IBEX to be one of the most important shows for the US market, you simply can’t afford not to be here.”
“We had a great show and were pleasantly surprised by the attendance. As we all know it is difficult to get a good turnout in a challenged market, but you did it”
IBEX Attendee comments
“IBEX is critical to our ability to stay current. For three days we focus on our product purchasing and make a lot of decisions. This show saves us hours of research just with the ability to compare product as well as finding new ones without having to spend time with salespersons during normal workdays. We really appreciate this event.”
“It is our opinion that IBEX is THE MOST important trade show in the entire industry.”
“We want to thank you and the Gougeon team for a great workshop at the 2007 IBEX. I got even more out of this than expected. I am not repairing boats but am interested in designing good boats. Your descriptions of problems you have seen and your repair solutions will allow me to ride on your experience and hopefully avoid some problems I may have not foreseen. Thanks a million.”
