Survivor and the Future of Sailing in North America

Boating Ontario is pleased to present John Peterson at the Boating Ontario Conference and Trade Show, December 2-4, 2012 at the London Convention Centre. Not only has John led the survival of Hunter Sailboats through a recent chapter eleven acquisition but he did it when all other divisions in the boating group he belonged to failed.

An expert in the field of marketing recreational sailboats, John will give us his views on the future sales potential of sail boats in North America.

Whether you are a marina, dealer or manufacturer you will enjoy listening to an expert who has been there and done that, from survival to restructuring and forecasting the future of boat sales in Canada. You will learn from John’s experience in areas that most of you will never want to go.

Join us at the Boating Ontario Conference & Trade Show to hear Mr. Peterson as well as other interesting and inspiring speakers from the recreational boating industry.  For more information visit http://conference.boatingontario.ca
