Press credential registration for the 2026 Windy City Boat & Yacht Show is NOW OPEN. All media must submit a credentials request before entering the boat show, and all credentials are subject to verification.
The media credential application deadline is June 5, 2026. There will be no on site media registration at the 2026 Windy City Boat & Yacht Show.
Media credentials are reserved exclusively for working members of the press on active editorial assignment. Each individual must submit their own application and each company may receive up to four credentials.
