IBEX 2026 is preparing more than 50 education sessions across ten technical tracks for its 6–8 October event at Tampa Convention Center. The programme spans construction, engineering, onboard systems, sustainability, leadership and boatyard operations.
This educational programme is distinct from the event's exhibitor pavilions and the environmental-compliance session already reported by LYG. It offers a broader training route for the builders and service companies working with 12–23.99-metre yachts.
Technical depth beyond display stands
The organiser lists construction methods and materials, design and engineering, marine electrical systems and onboard systems as separate tracks. Survey and repair, marina and boatyard operations, sustainability and emerging topics broaden the course selection.
Visitors should select sessions against a defined project or team requirement rather than assume one broad conference ticket covers every detailed workshop. Availability, eligibility and any extra charges need checking on the live programme.
Skills for a changing yacht market
The industry is adding more digital equipment and interconnected machinery to yachts that still require dependable mechanical, structural and electrical work. Education can connect those specialisms without replacing vessel-specific certification or a qualified technical assessment.
The IBEX education programme is developed with Professional BoatBuilder and industry experts. LYG reports the advertised schedule and themes rather than predicting the outcome of any session.
Planning the October visit
The three-day show takes place at Tampa Convention Center from Tuesday 6 through Thursday 8 October. Builders and refit managers can align appointments with equipment exhibitors and training sessions to get more from a single visit.
