Show Organizers Surveying Industry About Co-locating IBEX and MRAA MDCE

A survey has been circulated among the industry to gather feedback on the idea of co-locating IBEX and the Marine Dealer Conference & Expo/ MRAA MDCE in 2013 and beyond. Each event offers very different benefits, but the combination of the two shows held in one convention center at the same time, in the same city, would create and deliver an exceptional all industry annual event.  

The organizers explain that the exhibitor's and attendee's feedback will help them make some important decisions. Their goal is to make sure IBEX continues to be the best and most valuable three days of the year for the industry.  All responses are confidential and only statistical tabulations from the data will be published so we encourage you to provide candid responses.  The questionnaire will remain open through May 1, 2012, so if you received an email with the opportunity to participate, make sure you take time to weigh in on this potentially valuable discussion.
