That’s a wrap on a terrific 2024 Vancouver International Boat Show

Feb 13, 2024

Boating BC announced in their February 8^th newsletter, “VIBS 2024 has come to a close and by all accounts it was a great success. Thanks to Linda, Amanda and the whole team at Canadian Boat Shows for pulling it off. Crowds were down slightly from last year but certainly made up for it in their enthusiasm to purchase. Despite the slightly early close on Sunday, Boats and accessories were selling well throughout the week.”

Please be sure to fill out the exhibitor survey when it lands in your inbox which will help plan and execute the 2025 show. Boating BC thanks all the vendors who participated this year!

The 2024 Marine Electronics Conference & Expo was a great event!

The 2024 Marine Electronics Conference & Expo, held by the National Marine Electronics Association, (NMEA) took place September 16 to the 20th in Providence, Rhode Island. Boating Industry Canada was there for the first time and we were very impressed with what we found.

The association is very well supported and virtually any significant marine electronics company that you could name, was represented there on the Exhibitor list at the Expo as well as all being NMEA members and very supportive of the organization.
