Image film INTERBOOT 2017
Dear exhibitors, the figures of 2016 speak for themselves. Not least because of its dedication is the INTERBOOT a highly attractive fair for water-sports enthu siasts in the Lake Constance region encompassing four countries. It is one of the leading and most adventurous water-sports shows in Europe. Together with you, we offer our visitors un forgettable moments at the fair. With our comprehensive event programme, we present every visitor individually with their personal moments of water-sports joy. With our shows and events we inspire the many.
The INTERBOOT is a fair full of emotions and understands itself as an alternative concept to everyday life which can often be quite stressful. That applies to you as an exhibitor, too. No matter if you want to make some good deals at the end of the season or if you see the INTERBOOT as the start into the new season, you can relax and look forward to your participation in the Friedrichs hafen fair. I would be glad to welcome you again in 2017, at the 56th INTERBOOT.
Dirk Kreidenweiß Show Director, Member of the Board

The Offer:
COMPREHENSIVE AND INFORMATIVE The INTERBOOT opens the doors to all worlds of experience in water sports. Sailing and cruising belong to them, just like wakeboarding, kiting, surfing, etc. The INTERBOOT copes with this variety and therefore meets the demands of different exhibitor groups. We offer a convincing information spectrum which is broad and thorough at the same
time and ranges from individual sports and supply to the service and information behind them. It is our target to address all people who are fascinated by the element water, regardless of the type of water sports. We are amenable to unconventional ideas, go for innovative ways and ensure a high-quality experience for your product worlds.
SAILING BOAT • T he Sailing Competence Centre is the right place for your lectures about the topic sailing. • J oin the INTERBOOT Academy with lectures, workshops etc. • G et involved socially. The integrative Mini 12er Sailing for handicapped children is just one example.
MOTOR BOAT • S hare your knowledge, just like the experienced female skippers do in their motor boat training for women. • A t the ADAC Powerboat School, visitors experience the thrill of power boating.

THE HARBOUR • O ffer your customers a test drive. About 130 moorings are available in the harbour. WHAT MAKES WATER SPORTS THAT FASCINATING? We cannot give a general answer to this question. Water sports have always been a very personal experience. Some people seek freedom and relaxation, while others strive for adventure and self-awareness. Individuality which cannot be moored to a certain world of products or events. It’s all about those very personal and incomparable moments of joy on or in the element water. Therefore, we say:
• T ake part in Start Boating and introduce visitors to water sports on the second weekend of the fair. • A ctive in the harbour yet? With a Skipper training you can learn how to sail better and more efficiently. • T he INTERBOOT Trophy is about ranking points for more than 100 solo sailors.

INTERBOOT. Your Moment.

“For us, the INTERBOOT is like an in-house exhibition, and therefore an important platform and an integral part of our annual planning. We found this year’s show really great. The concept of Hall A3 was quite nice, lively and well-structures, and the visitors noticed that, as well. We also liked the general concept; and got positive feedback for the new circuit. The standing wave in Hall B2 was a visitor magnet and attracted a lot of young people. And we found the atmosphere in the lobby very pleasant. The INTERBOOT is currently on a good way. Even despite the most beautiful weather at the weekend, the halls were well-frequented.“ Sonja Meichle, CEO of Ultramarin, Meichle + Mohr Marina in Kressbronn-Gohren and Vice President of the German Federal Association of the Water-Sports Industry
HAVE YOU TRIED IT? With a test drive on Lake Constance you give your customers the opportunity to experience products and water sports in an authentic way. During the time of the exhibition, 130 moorings are provided for our exhibitors in the INTERBOOT-Harbour. In the year 2016, the harbour master registered about 1,500 customer voyages.

Lake Constance:
SPACE FOR AUTHENTIC WATER-SPORTS EXPERIENCE We want to make the fascination of water sports go viral, even beyond the exhibition grounds. Beside the INTERBOOT-HARBOUR with its manifold testing facilities and the organization of spectacular sports events, we are present at the water front in Friedrichshafen attracting the audience’s and media’s attention. Media are actively involved. One example is the INTERBOOT MEDIA-CUP, a sailing regatta with media representatives from Germany, Austria and Switzerland competing against each other. Top-class regatta sport is presented, directly at the Friedrichshafen water front, with the internationally announced INTERBOOT-TROPHY. Adrenalin-pumping moments are provided by the ADAC Powerboat School’s power-boat training, where all the brave ones learn how to drive on the water at high speed. Anyone who is not completely exhausted after that, can admire the breathtaking skills of professional boarders at the Nissan Wakeboard Show in the harbour.

WHY DO SO MANY SWISS PEOPLE VISIT THE INTERBOOT? On the one hand, the high number of visitors from Switzerland shows their interest in water sports. Switzerland has the highest density of boats in Europe, based on the number of inhabitants. On the other hand, INTERBOOT cooperates closely with the Swiss Boat-Builders’ Association. The result of this cooperation is the SUISSE@INTERBOOT, an exclusive exhibition area for Swiss exhibitors.
“This year’s INTERBOOT went really well and our expectations have been met. We were even able to sell directly at the booth. The mood of the whole industry and at the fair was good. The INTERBOOT is our most important trade show. The purchasing power here in the south is very good and the fair has remained stable for us.“ Robert Nürnberger, CEO Europe Marine

The Potential:
HIGH PURCHASING POWER The INTERBOOT owes its outstanding visitor numbers to its 足comprehensive, year-round marketing activities in the Lake 足Constance region, encompassing four countries. Southern G 足 ermany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein belong to the catchment area of the fair. Those four countries form a common German-足 speaking economic region with a high purchasing power. Impulse buying at the fair can be hoped for, just like bigger investments in the personal passion for water sports.
ARE THE VISITORS TO THE FAIR IN THE MOOD FOR SHOPPING? The people in the Lake Constance region can afford something. The purchasing power per inhabitant in the catchment area is above average.

“You notice that there has been a generational change in both, customers and the industry. That’s a good sign for the future. The mindset of the customers and visitors here in Friedrichshafen has been very positive. We’ll come back and we are looking forward to the next INTERBOOT.“ Gerhard Schöchl, CEO Sunbeam Yachts Schöchl Yachtbau GmbH
INTERBOOT is one of the initiators of “START BOATING”, a nationwide campaign for boat sports. www.start-boating.de 12
The Best Sales Argument:
INTERACTION
WHAT’S GOING ON AT YOUR BOOTH? The best way to spark people is to give them an experience they will always remember. Interact with the visitors by presenting the stars of the scene or by workshops, shows, events, lectures etc. So, you should probably have some events going on, all the time. It’s your exhibition: Help us design your INTERBOOT.
The INTERBOOT is a platform, where people can experience water sports in an interactive way. Together with you, we want to create further opportunities to experience water sports all around your products and services. Seize the moment. Tell us about your ideas. We will centrally market your and our activities. Our INTERBOOT ACADEMY provides room for lectures, seminars or workshops. That way you will directly get in touch with potential buyers and get your message across. You have ideas? We will help you make them come true.
Sensational sports events ensure that the enthusiasm for sportive competitions with the element water sparks the audience. At the INTERBOOT, beginners can simply try out water sports and explore new worlds. “Start Boating”, the new nationwide campaign for boating sports, is a good example for it. Join in and plan an activity for beginners together with us to make your world of product experience accessible for them.
