The Marina Industries Association (MIA) invites organisations with an interest in working with marina businesses to exhibit at the Marinas26 International Conference and Trade Exhibition (Marinas26).
Taking place on 25th & 26th May 2026 at the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, Marinas26 offers the most efficient and effective way for industry suppliers to connect and engage with key marina industry influencers as they gather in one location across two days.
Marinas24 attracted a record 380 delegates and exhibitors from 14 countries, generating strong sales and ongoing relationships.
An early exclusive exhibition space pre-release to MIA members indicates that interest in exhibition space is at an all-time high.
The venue for the event offers more exhibitor space than ever before, with a range of options to suit regular, high-exposure exhibitors, as well as providing resource-efficient and cost-effective options for those new to the market.
To ensure that all can access the market, the MIA has made available a limited number of smaller ‘mini booths’ that provide cost-effective exposure to marina owners and operators. Suzanne Davies, CEO of the MIA, explained, “Naturally, we have our reliable industry supporters for whom this is their key customer event, and they will maximise their exposure and presence. But we are also keen to ensure new suppliers to the event, and those with innovative solutions, can also take part. In many cases, these are smaller start-up businesses or those operating in other markets who are keen to diversify and gain exposure to marinas”.
Davies went on, “Our delegates continually report to us that the conference is a great way to connect with existing and new suppliers, providing them with an equally efficient and effective way to catch up with suppliers and learn about the latest range of products and services available on the market.”
Andrew Chapman, MIA President commented on the decision to open exhibitor bookings more than a year out, “Following the success of Marinas24, and the continued growth of the event in recent times, particularly the exhibition component, we want to ensure we provide marina suppliers with as much time as possible to plan their attendance confidently.”
Bruce Birtwistle CMP, MIA Vice President and General Manager of Bellingham Marine, is excited by the opportunities the Royal Pines Resort will provide to Marinas26 exhibitors, commenting, “This event is so big now that there are very few hotels with facilities big enough to accommodate it. The Royal Pines Resort is one of the very few such hotels, and it will be great to be ‘back under one roof’ again.” The resort’s expansive exhibition space flows outdoors, providing exhibitors with room and access to showcase products and services of all sizes.
