Canadian Boat Shows announces that their new Show Manager for the Vancouver International Boat Show will be Amanda Henschell.

For the past 18 years Amanda has been the National Marketing and Show Manager at Fraserway RV and BC’s 2 RV Shows (Snowbird RV Show & Sale, Earlybird RV Show & Sale), both held at TRADEX in Abbotsford.

Amanda lives in Surrey, BC and will work from a home office. We expect her to be a strong fit for the Vancouver Show & Exhibitors and complement our existing Canadian Boat Shows team.

She has a high level of experience producing consumer shows in a recreational lifestyle/products industry, while working within a dealership and an extensive marketing background. She has an exceptional reputation with exhibitors in their shows, as well as the venue and marketing agency.

Amanda will begin her role starting September 19 on a part-time basis, so that she can complete her responsibilities on the upcoming RV Show (Sept 29-Oct 2). Once the RV Show is over, her time commitment will increase following their event and transition to full-time by October 11.

Amanda’s contact information will be:
ahenschell@canadianboatshows.com
Office: (604) 882-8024
Cell: (604) 880-2744

Canadian Boat Shows is in the process of transitioning their office phone to Amanda and asks your patience as they work towards getting her set-up as soon as possible.

Thank you to all exhibitors for your support as we transition responsibilities and embrace change. We are very excited to have Amanda join our team!

Please note: Future Exhibitor Newsletters will be sent from Amanda. Please keep an eye out for her communications.
