Become an IMX Exhibitor
The 2024 floor plan is almost sold out, reserve your space ASAP! Exhibiting at IMX means access to engaged and influential members of the inland and intercoastal marine commercial transportation industry. In previous years, 80% of attendees were decision-makers who had purchasing power.
Exhibit hall hours and free networking events will give you the opportunity to become part of the “brown water family” and make connections that stretch the full waterway system. Becoming an exhibitor will align your company with industry-leading brands and respected industry organizations.

Music City Center
IMX will return to Music City Center in Nashville in 2024. The tradeshow floor will include 93,000 square feet of open space dedicated to exhibitors. Booth sizes range from 10’ x 10’ to 20’ x 50’.
With such a large footprint, you’ll have the opportunity to demo your product with decision-makers and end-users. IMX isn’t limited to table skirts and business card raffles. Our attendees expect hands-on interaction with your product and brand.
Since the show’s inaugural year in 2013, exhibitor volume has doubled. The IMX team contracts with local top-tier convention service providers to ensure a smooth and successful trade show experience.
