For a limited time, previous exhibitors can book space with first option on securing their locations of choice. After that, space preferences will be allocated in order of the date applications are received.

"Since the day after the 2011 boat show, exhibitors, current and new, were contacting us to reserve space for 2012," said General Manager Events and Marketing at Sanctuary Cove, Sue Thomson.

"Online applications are now open and we encourage exhibitors in the marine industry, and the boating and lifestyle sectors to get in early to avoid disappointment," she added.

The boat show team has been working since June on the new format, program enhancements and innovations for the 2012 show and orgainisers have made a number of changes to assist exhibitors:
• Display rates have been reduced by five per cent across all exhibition areas. Exhibitors who are eligible can also claim the 10 per cent marine industry discount.
• The initial deposit has been reduced from 30 per cent (which has applied over the entire 23-year history of the event) to 10 per cent for 2012.
• Payments can be made in full or in three instalments -- 10 per cent with application, 40 per cent by February 29th and the balance by March 30th.
• The boat show will again provide each exhibitor with $10 million public liability cover for the 2012 boat show.

Several exhibition site changes are new for 2012, to further optimise opportunities for exhibitors and the marina layout shows other slight modifications which will assist with visitor traffic flow and the overall show experience.
