Space Update

We would like to genuinely thank all returning and new Exhibitors for your patience during the recent weeks. We started our process of moving into the re-allocation stage of the floorplan, which is all-consuming due to the importance.

 

The re-allocation stage is like putting puzzle pieces together, followed by a domino effect. We are very focused on trying to accomplish as many requests as possible, recognizing it’s not feasible to deliver what every exhibitor is asking for. Thank you for understanding and being patient.

 

As we prepare for the 61st show, we have been working as fast as possible to keep up with the volume of calls and emails. We promise to be in contact with anyone who submitted a request with their application. 

 

Each year we are mindful to not inundate you with newsletters during your busiest time, summer, when you are stretched to keep up with your own day to day priorities. As we get closer to the show – our communication and newsletter volume will increase. 

 

We strongly encourage you to read each newsletter from now and through the show, so you don’t miss any important information.

 

If there are any other staff at your business, or suppliers you work with, that should receive our communications – please let us know. Now is the time to ask us to add them to our Exhibitor Newsletter list.

 

Our operations and marketing plans are coming together, and we’re looking forward to working with you all in the coming months to help you prepare for a successful show!

 

We appreciate your patience as we get through this high-volume time. We are always available for exhibitors if you are looking to talk or email us:

Scam Alerts

Don't Fall for a Scam!

 

It is unfortunate but a reality that fraudulent calls and emails get sent to exhibitors with misleading information.

 

These parties claim to represent the Vancouver Boat Show or Canadian Boat Shows but have NO relationship with us. We ask that you remain cautious and do not enter into agreements, contracts or release personal information - particularly credit card information - to any callers claiming to represent the Vancouver Boat Show.

 

These fraudulent attempts extend to hotels, travel, Show Guide listings, Exhibitor emails / contact database solicitations.

 

The Vancouver Boat Show is not connected with them in any way!

 

If you are contacted by someone and are unsure of the validity you can contact Amanda Henschell (ahenschell@canadianboatshows.com) or Wendy McCarroll (wmccarroll@canadianboatshows.com) to inquire further.

Exhibitor Newsletters
2024 Show Newsletters

The Vancouver Boat Show newsletters are the main source of communication.

Exhibitor communications are sent from this email address: ahenschell@canadianboatshows.com. Please add to your contacts as a safe sender and/or check your spam/junk folders.

We are finding many exhibitors reporting that they don’t receive the newsletter, or it lands in their junk folder. We suggest to please check your junk or spam folders periodically.

If you have not been receiving our newsletters, please let us know to add your email address to the distribution list. If anyone else from your company should be receiving the newsletters, please send us their email.

Moving forward we will ensure the exhibitor newsletters are in a predominant spot on the website once the 2024 website is updated. Click Here for past newsletters.
We Look Forward to Seeing You Back in 2024!
