The Irish Marine Federation (IMF) is the national organisation representing both Commercial and Leisure sectors of the Marine Industry in Ireland. Organising the Allianz Dublin Boat Shows enables the Irish Marine Federation to promote the industry as a whole.

The Primary Aims of the Irish Marine Federation are:

• To promote the interests of all sectors of the Marine Industry in Ireland and to encourage its growth and development.
• To represent the interests of the industry to Government, State Agencies and European institutions, thereby influencing public policies.
• To promote the image of the industry through quality awareness, public statements and the organisation of Boat Shows.
• To provide advice, information and services to members in order to assist in achieving these objectives.

The Allianz Dublin Boat Show achieves one of the Federations aims by affording its members new business opportunities within the industry.
