Our Toronto Boat Show team would like to sincerely thank all 500+ Exhibitors for your hard work, cooperation, support and participation during the time leading up to the show, move-in and show days!
We are very happy with how fantastic the 2024 Show looked over the past 10 days – and so are consumers. We’ve received so many comments from attendees on how great the show looks! Thank you for an outstanding job on your displays.
Thank you, also, to our collaborative Boat Show Committee, our Sponsors, and exceptional feature partners & presenters. Please note that even though today is the final daily exhibitor newsletter – there is still important information enclosed here!
Important Post Show Survey for Exhibitors – please keep an eye out this week for the Post Show Newsletter.
Each year we have an extensive Post Show Survey process for both Exhibitors and Consumers. We genuinely welcome all feedback – good, bad and ugly.
The strength and long-term success of the Toronto International Boat Show has been due to the feedback and input we receive from you, our Exhibitors.
We thoroughly review all comments and ideas, and we place a great deal of value on every individual and company’s input. We also hold meetings with the Boat Show Committee to discuss collective survey results to help guide our decisions and direction.
In addition to feedback about this year’s Show, we will also be including survey questions about the # of Show Days for the Future.
Over the past 35 years of the Show’s 66-year history, we have surveyed on the # of Show Days 6 times, to get feedback on what would be best for the Industry and the Toronto Boat Show.
The # of Show Days and Hours has changed several times in TIBS’s history. During those 35 years, the Show was 10 days, then 9 days for several years, then back to 10 days. During those same survey years, each time we also included a 5-day Show format as an option.
During this process we will be providing information to help you make an informed decision when you receive your survey.
We recognize this will be a difficult decision for many Exhibitors, as well as for the Show. We will take our time and review thoroughly, so that the Toronto Show continues to provide the sales, leads and results exhibitors have come to expect from the show.
Please note that the Toronto International Boat Show is a significant event in the City of Toronto and has long-term dates at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place.
While we enjoy long-term confirmed dates in the venue, we occasionally review the # of Show Days, Show Hours, Preview Day/No Preview Day – amongst other topics.
Here are the future dates for the Toronto Show if it remains a 10 day event. Within the date pattern below, we will also provide date options for a 5 day and a 9 day show.
- January 17 – 26, 2025
- January 16 – 25, 2026
- January 15 – 24, 2027
- January 21 – 30, 2028
- January 19 – 28, 2029

January 18 – 27, 2030
Please note, we will begin the Post Show Survey process, this week, after you have returned to your business/home and while we are in Vancouver. Our Show Team also produces the Vancouver International Boat Show.
The move-in for the Vancouver Show started yesterday (Saturday), which means we have transitioned some of our Show Team from Toronto to Vancouver. We will continue to transition our team over the next three days.
As a result, we are managing a larger volume daily here in Toronto during the busier weekend days. We will be sending out the Post Show Newsletter, survey, and final attendance summary to you from Vancouver.
We wish all exhibitors a strong final day at the show and a safe move out & a safe trip home!
