Registration is open for the 2024 International BoatBuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), North America's premier technical trade event for the recreational marine industry, taking place at the Tampa Convention Center, October 1 - 3.

In a refreshed layout, IBEX 2024 will have 700 exhibitors on display, of which over 100 are new exhibiting companies. The new layout includes a re-designed 3rd floor with a new location for the Tech Talk Theater, a new 3rd floor lounge, and it will also be the home of the new Start-Up Pavilion. This innovative platform will allow start-ups to unveil their newest products and technologies and is a joint production between IBEX and Yachting Ventures. In addition, the outdoor space of the Show has expanded, and the IBEX Docks will span three areas: North and South Docks at the Convention Center and additional docks at the Marriott Tampa Waterside.

"We are very excited about opening registration for this year's Show," said Anne Dunbar, IBEX Executive Director. "The focus for IBEX 2024 is not only the debut of new innovations and technologies marine professionals have come to expect, but the introduction of new businesses that bring a fresh perspective to the industry and will be leading the way into the future. With the redesigned layout and expanded outdoor space, there is going to be plenty to see, and we look forward to welcoming everyone in Tampa."
