BIAV is pleased to advise that our host venue, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, has granted an extension to our booking deadline which we can now pass on to Exhibitors.

This follows what has been an incredibly challenging year, an amazing industry rebound, and a current period where exhibitors and dealers are grappling to keep up with demand, contemplate stock issues, and figure out a 2021 boat show plan. We are pleased therefore to extend the deadline for Exhibitor bookings to Wednesday 10 February.

Our planning will be greatly aided by earlier bookings, so those that are ready to do so, please don't delay. The BIAV office re-opens on 4 January so that all enquiries can be addressed.

2021 is expected to see continued high demand for recreation, lifestyle, leisure, close to home fun, and of course, boating and fishing. Expectations are very high therefore, that the Melbourne Boat Show will see many new visitors, new buyers, and will be a great success.

Exhibitors can also be assured, that in the event of a COVID cancellation, full refunds will be provided. Exhibitors will not be exposed to cancelation related financial risk.

We look forward to your forms being completed by Wednesday 10 February, or sooner, and toward a great boat show in 2021.
