Innovation Awards judging panel

Organisers of The International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) are calling for entries to the 2024 IBEX Innovation Awards programme.

The Innovation Awards programme, presented at the annual IBEX gathering, features 14 marine trade product categories. New product entries are being accepted through 21 August 2024.

IBEX is co-owned by The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and RAI Amsterdam. The show expanded in 2023, and a new executive director was appointed earlier this year.

This year’s IBEX takes place from 1-3 October 2024 in Tampa, Florida.

The Innovation Awards programme, judged by Boating Writers International (BWI), is one of the marine industry’s most prestigious honours. It recognises manufacturers and suppliers who bring new and innovative products to market.

IBEX Innovation Award entrants and honourees will receive benefits including product review before eight marine journalists, online placement at the Innovation Awards Showcase, physical placement onsite along Innovation Way during all three days of the show, and placement in the show directory.

Details of the 2024 IBEX Innovation Awards entries are available on the IBEX website.

New for 2024, IBEX has partnered with Yachting Ventures to introduce a Start-Up Pavilion at this year’s event. The space will provide a platform for 12 startups to showcase their cutting-edge technologies and solutions for the duration of the three-day event.

Keep abreast of which boat shows and events are coming up over the next few months.
