IBG (Indonesia Boating Gathering) is a recreational boat and marine tourism exhibition. It’s where the maritime communities get together.

It is an initiative by CMSI (Community for Maritime Studies Indonesia). CMSI was first initiated in 2007 by a group of former naval officers, graduates of the Koninklijk Instituut Voor de Marine, Den Helder, Netherlands, including Urip Santoso (late), Eddy Tumengkol (late), Hans Kawulusan (late), R. Soenardi Hamid, and Amin Singgih (late).

In 2010 several academics, professionals, and entrepreneurs have joined forces to strengthen CMSI. Then in February 2015, the new generation agreed to grow CMSI into a community network to create a healthy synergy for Indonesia’s maritime awakening and the sea-change progress in humanity.

IBG was first held at a B3 hall of JIEXPO Kemayoran in 2019 as part of the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). Thanks to Dyandra Promosindo’s support and collaboration with CMSI networks. Since then, it has become an annual event at the same venue.

IBG shows recreational boats, water sports gear, marine tourism, and community gathering programs. The community programs aim to align the stakeholders in awakening Indonesia’s maritime culture.
