SCAM ALERT    
Solicitations for Hotel Reservations 

Skyline Housing, an agency NOT affiliated with the Vancouver International Boat Show, has been contacting exhibitors. We strongly recommend you do not return their calls or provide them with any personal information.
 
Please also remain alert for solicitations from National Travel Associates, Global Housing Corp., Corporate Booking Services (CBS), The Rooms Connect (aka Rooms Connection), Convention Housing Services, Six Point Travel, Tradefair Services, or other travel agencies of which we are not aware, soliciting hotel reservations.
 
Hotel reservation (and show guide/listings) scammers use phone soliciting, regular mail and email, appearing legit to trick you into sending money, entering into costly contracts, and/or revealing personal information.
 
These companies are in no way affiliated with the Vancouver Boat Show, and are not authorized by our partner hotels to make reservations on your behalf. 
 
Partner boat show hotels (with discount rates) will be announced in a future newsletter and on VancouverBoatShow.ca. Hotel representatives will NOT be calling exhibitors directly.  
 
We recommend you call hotels directly to book your reservations.  
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact show manage Eric Nicholl (604-882-8024).
MARKETING     
Open Slots for Seminar Series    

Several spots remain open in our expanding free seminar series (100+ presentations):
 
  • Main Presentation Rooms - Boating experts from around the world share experience and expertise on everything from boating basics to spellbinding boating adventures.
  • DIY Garage - With topics such as refinishing, changing fluids, minor electrical and engine repairs, scheduled presentations cover do-it-yourself projects for boatowners. At non-scheduled times, onsite technicians informally answer boater questions, one-on-one.
  • Dockside Grill - Our popular cooking stage features cooking demonstrations, and tips and tricks for dishing up tantalizing fare onboard and dockside.
 
If you know of a relevant topic, or good speaker/presenter for any of the above, please contact seminar manager Cynthia Hare as soon as possible (604-678-8820).
