BLA has officially confirmed the dates for its highly anticipated 2026 BLA Trade Show, with the event scheduled for Monday 20 July and Tuesday 21 July 2026. Once again, the showcase will take place at The Star, Brisbane, providing a premium setting for one of the marine industry’s most valued annual gatherings.
For decades, BLA’s trade events have been an essential touchpoint for marine businesses across Australia and the wider region. The 2026 edition is shaping up to continue that tradition, bringing together suppliers, retailers, builders, manufacturers, and industry leaders for two days of product discovery, relationship-building, and forward-thinking conversation.
The BLA Trade Show remains the best opportunity of the year for customers, both long-standing and newly onboard, to connect directly with BLA’s extensive product catalogue. Attendees will gain hands-on exposure to new product lines, explore updated model ranges, and revisit core products that continue to anchor BLA’s broad portfolio.
With face-to-face access to the manufacturers behind global marine brands, guests will hear directly from experts about product innovations, technical functionality, and real-world applications. For business owners, sales teams, and boatbuilders, these insights are invaluable, not only for understanding what’s new, but for sharpening their own customer offerings.
While the product showcase is at the heart of the Trade Show, the event has grown into something broader and more influential. Attendees consistently describe the BLA Trade Show as a rare opportunity to:
- Network with industry thought leaders from around the world
- Exchange ideas and build valuable connections
- Understand emerging trends that impact marine retail and manufacturing
- Explore ways to strengthen business performance and customer engagement
For visitors new to the BLA experience, the Trade Show serves as a comprehensive introduction to the company’s scale, capability, and commitment to supporting its partners. For returning attendees, it remains an essential annual reset, an opportunity to update product knowledge, reconnect with suppliers, and map out the year ahead.
BLA will be reaching out directly to clients with registration details and booking information in the coming period. Businesses considering attending for the first time are encouraged to keep the dates locked in and prepare to experience one of the most productive and enjoyable events on the marine industry calendar.
