Exhibitor Newsletter Sponsored by:

We are a small team, producing North America's Largest Indoor Boat Show!

During show days we are busy from morning until night, looking after the needs for thousands of attendees, 500 exhibitors, 440 seminars, 70 hours of continuous content on The Lake, special event areas and suppliers that help execute everything on-site.

We have been running non-stop trying to keep up, and not had any sit-down, quiet desk time. As a result, we are behind in compiling an attendance summary of the first few days of the show.

We usually try and do this for a Monday newsletter. Sometimes it’s not possible as it depends on what we’re handling over the weekend. So it will be Tuesday!

Exhibitors that have been in the show in prior years are aware that we like to keep everyone informed as much as possible. And this includes a few attendance summary updates throughout the ten days.

We appreciate your understanding that we prioritize the urgent needs that affect attendees and exhibitors, followed by administrative and attendance calculations (which are complex, due to more than 40 ticket categories, promotions, electronic, box office, multi-day calculations, etc.).

We are very pleased with the high number of media covering the Show!

A couple more media updates are included.

NMMA Canada State of the Industry Breakfast

Doors open: 8 AM | Breakfast served: 8:30 AM

Program: 9AM - 11AM

Beanfield Centre (Exhibition Place) | 105 Prince's Blvd | Toronto, Ontario M6K 3C3 

Thank you to

Although we have a week remaining in the show,

we need to begin preliminary plans for move-out.

REMINDER:

Health & Safety Regulations are the same during move-out

as they were during move-in.

MOVE-OUT GUIDELINES: 

• Storage crates will be returned to your exhibit space by Monday, January 29, at 8AM
• On Monday, January 29, all exhibitors report to the staging yard for a vehicle window card and building access. 
• Main Hall access is restricted during move-out - not all doors are open.
• Freight-free aisles will be maintained.
• There is limited access to the show floor; you are encouraged to bring a dolly to the show to transport materials.
• Personal protective equipment must be worn - particularly when accessing high-activity zones (safety shoes, hard hats, fall-arrest equipment).

• If we don't receive a crane service form from you, we will assume you do not require assistance from the show's equipment.

• It's important that exhibitors adhere to target times for move-out, as it is vital to getting everyone out on deadline. There will be a full move-out on Sunday evening with the majority of booth exhibitors leaving between 6 and 9pm.

• On Friday, boat exhibitors will receive specific target times for their move-out, with designated crane and forklift times for their boats.

• Many boat companies located near the roll-up doors will be given target times for Sunday's move-out. This is necessary in order to get the cranes into the building to begin lifting boats Monday at 8am sharp!

• The Industry Building and East Annex must be completely vacated by 6pm, Monday; and the Main Hall, by 6pm, Tuesday.

If you have questions regarding move-out, please leave a message at the

Show Office for move-out coordinator Shawn McConnell (416-574-9826),

who will come by your display to talk to you.

2024 TIBS FOOD CONCESSION MAP

Do Not Prop Doors Open:

Using unauthorized doors could set off alarms, and "propping doors open" (for a smoke break or quick run to the car, etc.) invites security issues including thefts and vandalism at displays.

Access Outside Regular Show Hours:

If you plan to meet customers prior to show opening and escort them onto the show floor, please advise the Show Office so we can make appropriate arrangements for access outside regular show hours.

If an emergency requiring paramedics arises, please alert any of the following and identify the location. 

• Boat Show Staff Member
• Show Office (416-263-3185)
• Information Booth Staff
• Lake Staff
• Show Security Guards (at entrances, exits, roving)

We will radio paramedics and direct them to the location. 

If the situation is non-urgent, you can also direct the individual to the

Show Office (Salon 103), where paramedics can meet them.
