Time to push the boat out and get ready for IBEX 2022!

Registration is now open for one of the world's most significant maritime events, the International Boatbuilders' Exhibition and Conference in Tampa, Florida. The dates for your diary are September 27th to 29th at the Tampa Convention Center.

IBEX 2022 kicks off on September 27th with an industry breakfast featuring NMMA President Frank Hugelmeyer and a keynote address from global futurologist Jack Uldrich's presentation of the Innovation Awards.

What can you expect from IBEX 2022?

There are many more networking opportunities this year, including a Women in the Industry Summit and Industry Leadership Panel on September 26th, the opening party, a pitch the press and happy hour event, and a mid-show mixer.

This year, the IBEX and American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) are excited to host Career Day on September 29th, an event aimed at inspiring students from technical training schools. In addition, the All-Industry Exhibit Hall Happy Return, sponsored by Hertz Marine, returns to provide an enjoyable daytime networking event. Other popular socializing events are held throughout the Show, including the Industry Breakfast, Keynote, and Innovation Awards Presentation; the Opening Night Part and Pitch the Press; a happy hour hosted by Propspeed; and a Mid-Show Mixer hosted by the Sail Pavilion, sponsored by Roswell Marine. 

Anne Dunbar, the IBEX Show Director, recently stated that the event constantly strives to develop new ways to forge connections. Although many long-time visitors and exhibitors will be familiar with key events such as the industry breakfast and launch party, she is excited to bring back the cross-industry Wednesday night happy hour and introduce a new and improved emerging networking session for Marine Leaders in the boating sector.

Networking opportunities for industry professionals

Also new for 2022, the September 28th Emerging Marine Leaders Session allows attendees to network, learn, and share with EMLs and industry experts during a free two-part event.

The IBEX daily timetable and list of featured events can be found on the IBEX website, as well as information about speakers and exhibitors.
