Marinas24 Exhibition Booths Filling Fast

In an outstanding demonstration of our industries strength, the Marina Industries Association (MIA) has announced that 70% of exhibition space for the Marinas24 International Conference and Trade Exhibition (Marinas24) has been sold since opening to members a week ago.

The MIA now extends an invitation to all businesses with an interest in the marina industries to exhibit. Marinas24 has seen unprecedented interest for exhibition space, businesses interested in exhibiting should book immediately to avoid disappointment as exhibition space is set to sell out.

Taking place on the 27-28 of May 2024 at the Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) Brisbane, Queensland, Marinas24 offers the optimal opportunity for industry suppliers to connect and engage with key marina industry influencers as they gather in one location for two days. Marinas24 is a must attend event for marina owners and operators, providing delegates with an efficient and effective way to meet with suppliers and learn about the latest range of products and services available on the market.

Andrew Chapman, MIA President commented on the level of interest from industry, “Following the success of Marinas22, and the continued growth of the event in recent times, particularly the exhibition component, Marinas24 is seen as a must attend event for industry suppliers to showcase their products and services to a highly engaged audience.”

Mike Harvey, Marinas24 Conference Chair is excited by the opportunities the Marinas24 venue provides exhibitors commenting, “The RICC has allowed us to attract a greater number of exhibitors with more room to showcase their products and services. The venue provides exhibitors opportunities previously not available due to venue constraints, such as The Plaza forecourt that will allow exhibitors to display large, branded product and machinery.”

Over 320 delegates attended Marinas22 and exhibitors reported strong sales. MIA CEO Suzanne Davies is looking forward to showcasing an even broader spectrum of suppliers for delegates to meet with, commenting, “We were limited with space at Marinas22. Next year we are looking forward to providing more suppliers with more room and improved brand awareness opportunities. We will increase delegate numbers, providing more potential customers to engage with exhibitors and see their products and services. To have 70% of the exhibition space sold already is a testament to the strength of Marinas24 as a key business acquisition channel for industry. I encourage suppliers yet to book a booth to do so today to avoid disappointment.”
