VALUABLE SHOW FEATURES AT IBEX

Ibex Logo

July 24, 2017

IBEX is an important time investment for marine professionals. The new products displayed, the networking both during the show and after-hours, along with the industry news means IBEX can yield a very positive return on the time you spend there connecting with everyone.

Check out some of these highlights, and plan to register yourself and key team members:

Electronics Pavilion Will Now Be Connected By NMEA
Electronics exhibitors will have their certified products connected via an NMEA 2000 network traveling within their booths. We never before had this in-booth network connection, and we’re excited about the opportunity to see this technology live.

New International Manufacturers
With our new partnership with METSTRADE, we’ll have 68 international exhibitors from 16 countries. You will find them throughout our exhibit halls, and it’s a great way for you to access more global resources.

Expanded 1st Floor Exhibit Hall
We’re adding more exhibits to this hall, and you will find new products, new companies, and new solutions. It’s a must-see.

All New Marina & Yard Features
We’ve added a dedicated, outdoor pavilion to present product solutions unique to the needs of marina and yard operators. Even if you’re not a marina and yard person, there will be an IBEX Beer Garden and Happy Hour every day in this pavilion, so it’s worth stopping by. Finally, we’re offering the International Marina Institute’s Marina 101 course and Marina and Boatyard Study Tour.

Jim Craig (US “Miracle” Hockey Team) is 2017 Keynote
Jim Craig is widely known as the heart and soul of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team —The “Miracle on Ice” victory for the United States over the vaunted, seemingly unbeatable Soviet Union team. He will be joining us at the IBEX Industry Breakfast as the keynote.

Plan to attend September 19-21 at IBEX in Tampa, FL. It’s going to be a great event for marine professionals. You can register by clicking here.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring  

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
