The International BoatBuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) announced today North America's premier technical trade event for the recreational marine industry will take place at the Tampa Convention Center, October 7 - 9, 2025.

"IBEX 2025 is where the marine industry comes together," said Mary Velline, IBEX Show Director. "We come together not just to showcase what's next, but to solve today's challenges and shape a brighter future. United, we move the industry Fast Forward."

This year's theme, Fast Forward, reflects the pace of innovation shaping the marine industry, from next-gen propulsion and sustainable materials to advanced electronics and smarter build technologies. Hosting a place "where challenges become breakthroughs," this year's Show will feature over 700 exhibiting companies and an anticipated total attendance of 8,000 industry professionals, including boat builders, manufacturers, naval architects, distributors, wholesalers and many more. Registration for IBEX 2025 opens in early June for both exhibitors and visitors.

There's no better place to connect with global buyers and key decision-makers than IBEX. There are limited exhibit spaces and sponsorship opportunities still available. Any company interested in exhibiting should act quickly and contact the Sales Team. Submit your online booth application here.
