Opportunities for exhibitors in 2021
MARINA INDUSTRY
The final issue of 2020 will be a Buyers’ Guide & Directory to act as a reference for readers throughout the following year.
The Guide will feature brief company profiles of suppliers of equipment and services to the marina industry, together with illustrations of new products.
The Marina Industries Association (MIA) has released the Exhibitor Prospectus for the Marinas21 International Conference & Trade Exhibition, which will be held at the Marriott Resort Surfers Paradise from 24-25 May, 2021, and is scheduled to follow the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. Samantha Collingridge, Marinas21 Partnerships Manager, is ready to answer enquiries from potential exhibitors at E-mail:
partnerships@marinas21.com or on Tel: +61 426 564 660. The Trade Exhibition is key to
the event as the 300-400 industry professionals in attendance use it as an opportunity to keep up-to- date with the latest products and innovations, as well as reconnect with suppliers. Incoming MIA CEO Suzanne Davies explained, “We surveyed past attendees recently to ask what products they want to see exhibited at Marinas21. Naturally, marina manufacturers, pedestal and dock product suppliers and boatyard lifting and equipment suppliers are the perennial favourites. It is expected they will again all be there. Interestingly, there was very strong interest from delegates in meeting exhibitors who supply safety and environmental equipment, and consultant services; security and access control; marina management software solutions; and fuel maintenance supplies and services.

Dry stack and other berthing solutions were also high on the list. “Our aim is to showcase all the
products and services that the industry has told us they want to see.” John Spragg, MIA Vice-President
and General Manager of Bellingham Marine, is always a keen exhibitor at the conference. “The Exhibition,” he commented, “is an important part of the event and continues to grow every year. “It is, without doubt, the most time-efficient and cost-effective way for any business wishing to engage in this market as it gives you access to the key decision-makers in the industry, because they are all there!” Ample time is given for delegates
to meet with exhibitors before and after the conference, along with dedicated exhibition breaks throughout the day. It is an important time to exhibit
as the boating industry benefits from a surge in interest as the community looks at ways to holiday closer to home and the Federal Government recently announced it will cover up to half of the costs for Australian businesses exhibiting at conferences in a welcome move to help restart the exhibition sector.
