Just a PSA regarding the 2022 Chicago Boat Show- it's not gonna happen - message from show coordinator below.

Hello Chicago Boat Show Exhibitors.

Following months-long analysis and conversations with exhibitors to produce an event that would deliver success for you and a positive experience for our attendees, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Progressive® Insurance Chicago Boat Show® to January 11–15, 2023.
The decision to postpone the boat show another year is the result of the current needs and economics of the Chicagoland market, including the supply chain disruptions and historically low market-specific boat inventory.

We understand the vital role the Chicago Boat Show plays in your business, and we look forward to working together next year to continue connecting you with customers.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,

Show Manager
National Marine Manufacturers Association
