There is only one way to book: by filling in and returning the space application that will be available with the Exhibitor Prospectus. All exhibitors from this year’s show will receive the new Prospectus in a staged release beginning in November 2024 through January 2025.

BRANDS ON DISPLAY AT THE 2025 SHOW

The recreational fishing industry enjoyed another great show in 2024. The need for floor space was in high demand this year, with the show selling out months in advance. 

The tackle show calendar offered plenty of networking opportunities. The show itself, AFTA’s AGM, Happy Hour, and the Gala Dinner & Awards Night were the biggest that AFTA has ever seen, with 475 people attending for four hours of drinks and socialising. The support from the Victorian Government and Brandscope for the dinner was fantastic.

The incredible sponsorship from the Queensland Government enabled AFTA to offer free entry to all members of the public. Before we opened, the lines were out the door and around the building.

There’s already plenty of talk for the 2025 show; if you missed it in 2024, start planning now to ensure you don’t do that again!
