"The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) will merge its
Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show (MAATS) with the
International Boatbuilder’s Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in 2010,
creating the recreational boating industry’s single largest trade
event...."

Giant boat shows merge, and it's going to be in Louisville Ky next

trip.
