The Marina Industries Association (MIA) is excited to announce that exhibition space for its Marinas26 International Conference and Trade Exhibition (Marinas26) is now 80% sold.

With only limited spaces available, it is expected that the exhibition will sell out completely in the coming months, and the MIA recommends that any business interested in exhibiting make contact now.

Taking place 25th and 26th May 2026 at the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, Marinas26 offers the most efficient and effective way for industry suppliers to connect and engage with key marina industry influencers as they gather in one location over two days.

Marinas24 attracted a record 380 delegates and exhibitors reported strong sales and ongoing relationships.

Suzanne Davies, CEO of the MIA, explained, "Given the strong results reported by exhibitors after Marinas24, we knew that the demand would be strong, which is why we have again expanded on the size of the exhibition, but to be this far ahead just over a year out has taken us by surprise. There are still options available, including some of the 'mini booths' designed for new exhibitors who wish to test the market for their products as they provide cost-effective exposure to marina owners and operators."

The MIA plans to open delegate registrations exactly one year out on 25 May, so keep your eye out for those announcements.

Andrew Chapman, MIA President commented on the decision to open exhibition and delegate registrations more than a year out, "Following the success of Marinas24, and the continued growth of the event in recent times, particularly the exhibition component, we want to ensure we provide industry with as much time as possible to confidently plan their attendance. This event only happens every two years, so if you miss out on one, it can be four years between events."

The Marinas26 Exhibitor and Partnership Prospectus can be downloaded at www.Marinas26.com. The conference website will be home to all the latest conference and exhibition information and will be regularly updated when program details, exhibitors and speakers are announced.
