As we get closer to show opening, we are delighted to hear from consumers about how excited they are to attend the 2023 Vancouver Boat Show. We are anticipating strong attendance and have already seen a 68% increase in online ticket sales compared to 2020!

We are ramping up to launch our media and promotions plan. Using a mix of strategic digital marketing tactics, traditional media and various public relations opportunities to drive show attendance and feature new products and highlights.

You can help us, help you! If you have a new product or service for the 2023 show, make sure you take advantage of our New Product Showcase opportunity. Consumers will be able to browse the showcase on our website and we will use that for various promotional opportunities. See links below or visit the Exhibitor Kit section for more details and instructions.
Exhibitor & Working Dealer Badges
Remember to order your name badges before January 16th. All badges ordered after that date will not be mailed, but held on-site for pick-up at the show office.

Working Dealers that work in a manufacturer’s display, such as an engine company, are required to be members of the Boating BC Association prior to the start of the 2023 Vancouver Boat Show. Order badges here.

Exhibitors and Working Dealers will have access to the show 2 hours prior to opening. For security purposes, boat show badges are for the exclusive use of the person named on the face; they are not transferable.

This information will be used for the:
Interactive Floorplan, Exhibitor & Product Search

The new Interactive Floorplan, Exhibitor & Product Search will be enhanced to help attendees find products while at the show. There will also be signage with QR codes at the entrances and show floor to encourage attendees to use the search features to be directed to your spaces.

All exhibitors are strongly encouraged to focus on specific keywords and descriptions when entering your company listing
so that consumers can easily find you and connect.

One of the features of the virtual platform are that attendee’s type in what they are looking for: products, services, brands, general phrases. Exhibitors that have those keywords in their descriptions will appear for attendees to view.

All exhibitors need to update their company listing info within Unity
(Exhibitor Online Platform). See link below. 

The printed "SHOW GUIDE" will continue to have your company listed as it was historically in alphabetical order and Booth #. 
Call For Speakers & Workshop Leaders
Education continues to be a focus of the show, even more now with the influx of new boaters on the waterways. Consumers attending the show place high value on the show seminars, and feel better informed, educated, inspired and motivated after attending the show.

There are still a few seminar spots available.
