The following statement was released this week from the International BoatBuilder Exhibition and Conference's Show Director Anne Dunbar.

We also understand that while our industry is experiencing drastic impacts on business - including supply chain disruptions and revenue losses - it is critical to understand the issues in front of us and how best to adapt moving forward.
At this time, we are planning to open IBEX on schedule and are currently working toward launching registration in the coming weeks.
