Show Management, the organizers of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, announced plans for enhanced logistics, improved signage, a new layout at the Broward County Convention Center and more parking for the 52nd annual boat show, running October 27-31, 2011.
Show organizers indicated many yacht exhibitors are requesting additional space to accommodate expanded offerings. Improved signage and a more integrated digital experience are part of a revamped, strategically laid-out boat show, as boat show organizers continue to work with the city of Fort Lauderdale and privately owned locations on convenient and affordable parking options for attendees.
The new layout at the Broward County Convention Center will offer a strategic traffic pattern assuring that each booth space will be a prime sales location, organizers said. Educational marine activities presented by the Blue Wild Dive and Travel Show, the International Game Fish Association’s School of Sport Fishing and Hook the Future also have been repositioned.
“Through feedback from our exhibitors and attendees we continue to work to present an improved show year after year,” Dane Graziano, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Show Management. “Demand for space is exceeding last year and we have made some tremendous logistical improvements. We are looking forward to a fantastic show in October 2011.”
The Fort Lauderdale Boat Show will span 6 sites and will feature more than $3 billion worth of boats, yachts, superyachts, sailboats, trawlers, electronics and engines and thousands of boating accessories from every major marine manufacturer and boat builder across the world. There will also be exotic cars, clothing, jewelry, global marinas, and luxury services.
