Attendee and Exhibitor Testimonials

What are people saying?

"2019 was the best year we have exhibited at the Workboat show. The patrons were so interested and involved. We had a ton of foot traffic and met a lot of really good contacts. I really enjoy meeting with my current customers and meeting new contacts.”

"Was my first time attending the show and it was an excellent opportunity to connect with the commercial marine industry at large. Lots of positive opportunities coming down the pike for this side of our business. Location was ideal and afforded many opportunities to network inside and outside of the show.”

"The fact that it is truly international. People from all over the world are there. I also like the variety of industries represented. It is a really well run show”
