The Exhibitor Online Platform (Unity software) is now live to allow Exhibitors of Record and registered Working Dealers to:

• update company’s Print Guide Listing
• expand your Digital Listing entry with more information about your company and products, visuals, links, offers
• facilitate Exhibitor & Product Search by adding brands, products and key words
• order Exhibitor Badges

We encourage Exhibitors and Dealers to input the required information NOW using their Company Profile log in, and continue to update the digital listing up to the show week and even after. Exhibitors are responsible for making sure their product information is accurate.

Exhibitor & Product Search works in a simple and effective way. Consumer’s type in what they are looking for: products, services, brands, general phrases. Exhibitors that have those key words in their descriptions will appear for consumer's to view. Listings and references are kept live on the website for the entire year.

Please complete the Key Words section in the Online Platform Company Profile to benefit from this feature. Keywords should reflect what products and services attendees will find on display at your space.

Filling out Boat show Specials allows you to promote any offers connected to your TIBS participation, whether it is a promo campaign you are starting right now leading up to the event, or an offer only valid on the actual Show days. Exhibitors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the description of the promotional rules, conditions and timelines offered to consumers. 

The Interactive Floorplan connected to your Digital Listing will be added to the website once the space allocations are complete & booth numbers are assigned to all exhibitors spaces. This feature helps attendees to find products before attending the show and direct them how to find your space. 

Select your company name from the list, log in and complete the required fields.

The Booth # will be applied to your listing automatically, do not worry if you do not have a confirmed booth number yet.

Exhibitor & Working Dealer Badges can be ordered in your company’s profile on the Exhibitor Online Platform.

In your Company Profile you will see how many Exhibitor & Working Dealer badges you are eligible for depending on the total exhibit area occupied:

200 sq. ft or less = 6 Badges

201 – 500 sq. ft = 10 Badges

501 – 2000 sq. ft = 12 Badges

2001 – 3500 sq. ft = 15 Badges

3501 sq. ft or more = 20 badges

If you require more than the standard allowance, additional badges can be purchased on the same Online Platform for the price of $20 plus HST each.
