The CEO Panel includes Andrew Teich, President & CEO of FLIR/Raymarine; Marc Jourlait, Deputy CEO of Navico Holding AS; and Phil Whitehurst, Managing Director of Active Research, Ltd./Actisense. NMEA Chairman Johnny Lindstrom will moderate the session. The panel will take center stage after lunch on Tuesday. Doors will open for the trade expo after the CEO session ends.

“We’re very grateful to the CEOs who are sitting on this year’s panel,” said Mark Reedenauer, NMEA President & Executive Director. “We want the NMEA members to submit questions for a perspective from the CEOs as to how these topics impact your industry.”

NMEA’s Convention Committee will develop a list of questions for the panel to address. All NMEA members are invited to submit questions for consideration to the National Office at info@nmea.org. There will also be time at the session for questions and comments from the audience.
