Delayed gratification at IBEX 2023
I hope there will be many of our Boating Industry Canada News Week readers at IBEX 2023 because this promises to be a blockbuster show. The Covid pandemic caused problems for many people especially those in the shows and exhibitions business and yet the boat business experienced an historic sales boom because of it. IBEX 2020 was cancelled for the pandemic, went virtual in 2021 and then had to be cancelled again in 2022 for Hurricane Ian.
You can imagine after three years without a regular IBEX Show, we are all excited to get back to normal at IBEX 2023 and to see the wide range of new products finally getting their day in the sun. I feel sure that the delayed gratification will be worth the wait!
I can tell you there are more Innovation Awards product entries than ever before. I’m a judge and I’ve been hours reviewing the award applications.
