Northwest Marina & Boatyard Conference Coming Up Nov. 6 and 7

From preparing for marina fires to savvy social media strategies, green boating products to maritime workforce development, the 14^th Annual Northwest Marina & Boatyard Conference is packed with information for marine professionals.

And this year’s conference has a terrific new venue: the Kitsap Conference Center, located on the Bremerton waterfront, just a short ferry ride from Seattle.

We hope you’ll join us Nov. 6 and 7 for what is sure to be an informative, thought-provoking event. We’ve rounded up an impressive array of experts and educators to provide a valuable professional development experience for NMTA members. Our seminar lineup includes sessions on, among others: 

• Leveraging technology and social media to get results
• Responding to marina fires
• The Clean Boating Foundation
• Washington’s copper bottom-paint phase-out
• NMTA’s Grow Boating grant program (yes, that means free money!)
• Using words as marketing currency
• Growing boating from a safety perspective
• Washington’s habitat conservation plan
• The state’s new boatyard permit
• Legislative issues impacting the maritime sector
• Marijuana, derelict vessels and the peer-to-peer marketplace: staying legal and current

We’re looking forward to an engaging two days and hope you’ll join us. Additional information and registration is available here.
