The 67th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) runs October 28–November 1, 2026. If you want a hotel near FLIBS that still puts you on Fort Lauderdale Beach — not a Dania Beach airport property and not a sold-out slip on 17th Street — Cambria Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach is 4.2 miles from the Broward County Convention Center hub, about 10 minutes by car or rideshare, and a 3-minute walk from the sand.
