IMBC 2013 Schedule-at-a-Glance Is Now Available

An overall schedule-at-a-glance for the 2013 International Marina & Boatyard Conference (IMBC) is now available online at www.marinaassociation.org/imbc/schedule.

IMBC— produced by the Association of Marina Industries (AMI)—is scheduled for January 30–February 1, 2013, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The schedule will follow IMBC’s established format with an opening exhibit hall reception on January 30 followed by two full days of exhibits, educational seminars, industry award presentations, and networking events. The well-attended and successful golf tournament, which was added to IMBC’s schedule in 2012, will also return as well as the CMM roundtable and the conference’s annual marina field trip.

“One true measure of success for this conference is the positive feedback we’ve received over the years as we constantly strive to make IMBC the best venue for all marina professionals,” Jim Frye, president of AMI, says. “For over a decade, we have offered up the latest news, products, and processes as well as bringing the marina industry together to network and learn from one another. Participants in 2013 should expect nothing but the best, yet again.”

The entire schedule is available to download via IMBC’s website: www.marinaassociation.org/imbc/ schedule.
