NMMA’s SHOW CREDENTIALS ARE NOW DIGITAL!

For your safety NMMA has transitioned to a new contactless digital MOBILE EXHIBITOR CREDENTIAL. We will also be following the latest CDC, state and local guidelines to ensure your safety, as well as the safety of our staff and guests. As guidance comes in from officials, we’ll continue to update and monitor our practices to ensure the best boat show experience possible.

If you have not done so, please order your credentials for the PROGRESSIVE® INSURANCE MINNEAPOLIS BOAT SHOW® by visiting your Exhibitor Portal. 

  • Online credential registration continues throughout the show.
  • Credential allotment is determined by your company’s total square footage of contracted exhibit space.
  • When your contracted space balance is paid in full. Credentials will be emailed 2 weeks prior to show opening.
