Show Info - IBEX Show
Information About the IBEX Marine Industry Show.
If you're interested in boats, marine products, or the boating industry, here's some helpful information for you. If you ever plan to visit or learn about the IBEX Show, it’s best to read this first so you know what to expect and how to prepare. First, remember that IBEX is a big event where boat builders, designers, and marine product sellers come together to share ideas, show off new products, and learn new skills. This event is a great place for people who work in the marine industry to meet and do business. The event takes place at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida, from October 6 to October 8, 2026. There are also special sessions a day before, on October 5, where people can learn more through pre-conference activities. It is important to note that IBEX is only for industry professionals and not open to the general public or children under 18. If you want to attend, you should register early to get a free badge, but after September 6th, there is a $50 fee. The show hours vary each day, starting as early as 8 a.m. and ending in the afternoon. The event includes several floors filled with exhibits, seminars, and workshops, providing lots of opportunities to learn and see the latest in boat technology and design.
During your visit, remember that photography and videos are restricted. Since many new and proprietary products are shown at IBEX, you need special permission to take pictures or videos inside the exhibit hall. This is to protect the ideas and creations of many companies. Exhibitors can also decide to limit photography of their displays. If you see someone taking photos without permission, it's best to report this to event staff. For those interested in learning more, IBEX offers a conference where experts share their knowledge about boat building and marine technology. The event regularly happens in December or October, and future dates are announced well in advance. So, if you're curious about boats or work in the marine industry, IBEX is an exciting event for gaining new ideas, connecting with professionals, and seeing innovative marine products. Just remember, it's a special show for industry members, so plan ahead and follow the rules for a smooth and enjoyable experience.
