This year’s 25th International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) will be hosted by the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville from Tuesday, September 15 to Thursday, September 17, 2015. Nearly 90% of exhibit space on the show floor has been already sold out. Celebrating over two decades of marine innovation, technology as well as excellence, IBEX – the largest trade event for boat building, design and maintenance – will offer valuable networking events and educational opportunities.

“We are looking forward to celebrating our 25th IBEX Show this year in Louisville and bringing the marine industry together for this milestone event,” said Anne Dunbar, IBEX Show Director. “IBEX  2015 is already shaping up to be the best event ever with the addition of several new show experiences focusing on trends, materials, and technology.   As our industry continues to rebound, we look forward to sharing the future of marine technology and innovation with our attendees in Louisville in September.”

Exhibitors will have the unique opportunity to promote new products and technology, increase sales, network with peers, conduct strategic negotiations, and monitor cutting-edge trends at the 2015 IBEX show. In addition to securing booth space there are also several networking and sponsorship opportunities available for exhibitors, including the Opening Night 25th Celebration, the Bourbon & Brew Happy Hour, and the Composite Cocktail Competition.  Each of these events will provide attendees and exhibitors a chance to network with industry professionals from all over the world, discuss upcoming trends, and form lasting relationships.
