Marine industry vendors have already committed to nearly 90 percent of the exhibit space on the show floor of the 25th International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference, set to take place Sept. 15-17 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

“We are looking forward to celebrating our 25th IBEX show this year in Louisville and bringing the marine industry together for this milestone event,” IBEX show director Anne Dunbar said in a statement.

“IBEX 2015 is already shaping up to be the best event ever, with the addition of several new show experiences focusing on trends, materials and technology,” Dunbar said. “As our industry continues to rebound, we look forward to sharing the future of marine technology and innovation with our attendees in Louisville in September.”

Activities include the Opening Night 25th Celebration, the Bourbon & Brew Happy Hour and the Composite Cocktail Competition.
