THE 59TH ANNUAL FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
August 21, 2018
The 59th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is taking place October 31st-November 4th. A variety of enhancements to form and function will offer a fresh approach to enjoying the largest in-water boat show in the world and an even more successful sales environment for exhibitors.
One of the most noteworthy changes to the 2018 show is the redesign and repositioning of the main entrance several hundred yards to the north end of the Bahia Mar Hotel and Marina property, along Seabreeze Boulevard, just south of the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Marina, improving access for both attendees and exhibitors.
“Informa is focused on evaluating the overall show experience and how FLIBS is perceived by people who arrive from many different places and spend time at the show each day,” said Informa U.S. Boat Shows General Manager Andrew Doole. “First impressions are crucial, which is why we are creating a professionally designed, dedicated show entrance with a thoughtful layout and other elements of convenience for guests and exhibitors.”
