Following a review of the market place and extensive market research that examined both location and timing, it has been decided the Boating Business Exhibition will be held on February 22 to 23, 2006 at the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC).

The BIC is a permanent and dedicated exhibition centre with excellent travel connections from all parts of the UK and mainland Europe. The revised timing reflects the changes that have occurred with purchasing patterns and other competitive events.

BMF members will be offered preferred rates to exhibit in line with previous exhibitions.
