2025 Space Renewals & Early Bird Rates!

Welcome Back!

Western Canada's Largest Sale for Boats, Accessories & More!

 

January 29 – February 2, 2025

BC Place and Granville Island, Vancouver


If you were a 2024 show exhibitor then you will have received your space renewal application for the 2025 show. Make sure to check your inbox!


If you have not received your application, please let us know.


 

Take advantage of the Early Bird Rate and SAVE!

 

The Early Bird Rate applies to 2024 exhibitors, as well as exhibitors who were not in the 2024 show and new exhibitors. Any exhibitor who wants to receive the Early Bird rate for the 2025 show will be required to return their signed application and 50% deposit by September 5th.

 

After September 5th the 2025 Regular Rates will apply.

 

It is important for all 2024 exhibitors to let us know what your Space Request is for 2025 before the September 5th renewal deadline.

 

Note: only space requests with a signed application and a deposit will be considered during the planning and allocation process. After September 5th, we will begin working on the layout.

 

We genuinely want to make sure everyone’s space requests are included, and we need to hear from you so that your needs are not left out of our planning. This applies to spaces at BC Place and Granville Island.

 

We are already receiving space requests from past exhibitors and new requests for space. Therefore, it is imperative to know your plans.

 

You can return your Application by email to Amanda Henschell (ahenschell@canadianboatshows.com), or call 604-882-8024 to discuss your space needs for the 2025 show.

 

If you were not an exhibitor at the 2024 show, please download the 2025 blank application form below.
