“Marine17 has lined up a record 60 conference sessions covering the broadest range of marine industry topics ever presented,” said committee member Nik Parker.
“Delegates will hear from world-class speakers from the US, Canada, Europe and closer to home, discussing themes such as: international best practice in marina design and operation; masterclasses in small marine dealership management, marketing and creating customer confidence; debating the sharing economy and its impact on boating; lessons learned from boating safety messaging around the globe.
“Keynote presenters will demonstrate the power of online peer-recommendation marketing, challenge industry leaders to think about new models for boating promotion and answer the question: what to do with old boats.”
