New Gold Coast show announced

A new outdoor lifestyle show on Queensland’s Gold Coast later this year will showcase the latest products for the great outdoors including boats, RVs and other camping and watersport accessories.

The organisers of OutdoorX, which will be held from September 13 to 15, are expecting up to 30,000 visitors to the inaugural event held at the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village.

“It will be the first grand-scale event the fully integrated resort has launched since the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) more than 30 years ago,” Mulpha Events General Manager Johan Hasser said

“We believe there is a huge opportunity to launch a second major festival that caters for everyone who loves the outdoors,” he said.

“We want OutdoorX visitors to see the vehicles, vessels and gadgets as they’ve never seen them before and will work closely with our exhibitors to ensure they create custom, innovative and interactive displays that wow the senses.

“The sky is the limit when it comes to exhibitor design - visitor experience and interactivity is what will make this event stand out from the crowd.”

The plan is to split the show up into seven precincts – caravans, motorhomes, 4x4s, camping, trailer boats, water sports and tourism – with activations set up in each precinct to engage audiences and generate excitement as they move through the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village.

OutdoorX is the second new RV show announced for Queensland this year, with Caravanning Queensland set to hold the inaugural Sunshine Coast Caravan and Outdoor Expo, at Nambour Showgrounds from August 30 to September 1.
