New Show Manager
We are pleased to announce the new Show Manager for the Vancouver International Boat Show will be Amanda Henschell.

For the past 18 years Amanda has been the National Marketing and Show Manager at Fraserway RV and BC’s 2 RV Shows (Snowbird RV Show & Sale, Earlybird RV Show & Sale), both held at TRADEX in Abbotsford.

Amanda lives in Surrey, BC and will work from a home office. We expect her to be a strong fit for the Vancouver Show & Exhibitors; and compliment our existing Canadian Boat Shows team. 

She has a high level of experience producing consumer shows in a recreational lifestyle/products industry, while working within a dealership and an extensive marketing background. She has an exceptional reputation with exhibitors in their shows, as well as the venue and marketing agency.

Amanda will begin her role starting next Monday (September 19) on a part-time basis, so that she can complete her responsibilities on the upcoming RV Show (Sept 29-Oct 2). Once the RV Show is over, her time commitment will increase following their event and transition to full-time (by October 11).

Amanda’s contact information will be:
Office: (604) 882-8024
Cell: (604) 880-2744

We are in the process of transitioning our Office phone from Eric to Amanda. We would appreciate your patience with us as we work towards getting her set-up as soon as possible.
 
Thank you to all exhibitors for your support as we transition responsibilities and embrace change. We are very excited to have Amanda join our team!

Please note: Future Exhibitor Newsletters will be sent from Amanda. Please keep an eye out for her communications. 
Space Application and Floorplan Update
We are excited to bring the industry and boaters together again – AND to be celebrating the Show’s 60th Anniversary! This year will be an event not to be missed – there is so much pent-up demand, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone!

Reminder: The Space Application Process for the 2023 show is well underway! The renewal deadline for prior year exhibitors was August 31.

All Exhibitors received their applications by email, during the week of July 11. 

The majority of exhibitors who applied for space at the 2022 Show have sent in their applications, indicating renewal of what they were contracted for at the planned in-person 2022 Show, along with their requests for 2023.

In addition, exhibitors who were not in the 2022 Show have also submitted applications with requests and are waiting for allocations. 

Thank you to all exhibitors that have renewed so far, and for your patience as we prepare to work on the redesigned 2023 floorplan.

The demand for space at the 2023 Show is very strong. If you have not already contacted either Eric Nicholl or Linda Waddell before today to let us know your space requests for 2023, it is imperative that the show hears from you as soon as possible. We genuinely want to ensure your space requirements are included in the planning and floorplan revisions. 

If we have not heard from you yet, we can’t stress enough that we need to know what your needs are, so that you are not left out of our planning.

We understand that exhibitors who have requested more space or a location change are anxious to view floorplan options. As soon as we have a floorplan to share, we will be in touch with everyone in October. This represents exhibitors who have submitted their requests, applications and deposits.

If you have not returned your application and deposit yet, we strongly encourage you to right away. The deadline for returned applications and 50% deposit - was August 31, 2022.
