Sponsorship Opportunities The Refit Show is a two-day free-to-attend conference and exhibition focused on yacht refit, presented by a small team in Fort Lauderdale. This format creates strong monetization potential through sponsorships and exhibitor packages. Opportunities exist to target marine equipment suppliers, shipyards, refit specialists, and related service providers with tiered booth options, speaking slots, branding, and lead retrieval.

Exhibitor Prospecting With a lean staff, the event can be resourced through partnerships with marketing agencies and distributors to fill exhibitor slots and attendee interest. The audience comprises yacht owners, managers, and professionals in refit, offering high-value leads for equipment suppliers, software vendors, and service providers that support refits and yacht upgrades.

Digital Marketing Upsell Leveraging the shown tech stack and the event’s digital presence, there is room to offer digital marketing services, analytics, retargeting, and CRM integration to improve attendee acquisition and exhibitor ROI. Propose sponsored content, site branding, and data-driven sponsorship packages that align with exhibitors’ sales goals.

International Growth Given the emphasis on growing international refit activity, target global shipyards, refit yards, fleet managers, and owner representatives for partnerships, sponsorships, or speaking slots. Create international marketing packages, translation options, and cross-border logistics support to attract non-U.S. buyers and suppliers.

Local Hub Advantage Fort Lauderdale’s status as a premier yacht hub provides regional access to local shipyards, brokers, service providers, and marinas. Use this advantage to expand the show’s footprint with regional partnerships, additional seminars, and recurring events that connect attendees with nearby vendors and accelerate repeat attendance.
