The International Cup Water Expo on September 29 through October 1, 2023 at the Havasu Riviera Marina in Lake Havasu City, AZ, will be the optimal venue to bringing all things powersport/watersport and beach related fun together.

The Water Expo serves as an excellent addition to sponsorship and vending packages for the International Cup. We understand that at top-tier events, dealers, distributors, and vendors often struggle to capture the complete attention of athletes and fans who are primarily focused on the competition and event itself. The Water Expo offers a unique setting where you can engage with customers, discuss your products, and explain why they are the best fit for their needs. It provides a conducive environment for meaningful conversations about your offerings.

During the International Cup weekend, athletes and beach lifestyle enthusiasts from around the globe will gather in the Lake Havasu area. The Water Expo aims to provide manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and vendors with the perfect platform to connect with these potential customers and engage in personal interactions. This direct engagement will foster brand loyalty and create lasting memories for attendees, establishing a strong bond between the brand and its patrons. By engaging face-to-face with enthusiastic individuals who prioritize sports and fitness, you can establish a genuine connection with your target audience in a distinctive and impactful manner.
