KeyboardTyping

We are currently working through the event services needs and are waiting for BC Place to provide us the order forms for building services such as electrical, internet etc.

 

It's anticipated that these forms will be available in early January; once this information is available, the full Exhibitor Kit will be readily accessible online. Should the information become available sooner, we will make an announcement.

 

The Vancouver International Boat Show Exhibitor Kit is a valuable resource and we understand its importance to all show participants.

 

Thank you for your patience.

 

Update On BC Place Main Floor Allocation

 boatshowfloor

We are close to finalizing the layout of the main floor.

 

The main floor layout is a more time consuming process based on the differences in each exhibitor's space size requirements and product size, seniority, logistics and other factors.  

 

We have started contacting main floor exhibitors with space allocations; if you are an exhibitor who has yet to be contacted, we will reach out to you this week to confirm your space. 

 

We appreciate your patience as we work through the new layout.

  

Please direct any questions to Show Manager Eric Nicholl at enicholl@canadianboatshows.com or (604) 882-8024.

 

Update On Granville Island Allocation

 

GranvilleIsland

With the allocation of BC Place nearing completion, we will begin working on the In-Water layout immediately afterwards.

 

Our goal is to begin reaching out to the In-Water exhibitors during the week of December 26th.

 

We apreciate your support and patience through the allocation process and look forward to your participation at Granville Island.

 

Should you have any questions, please contact Show Manager Eric Nicholl at enicholl@canadianboatshows.com or (604) 882-8024.
