The International Marina & Boatyard Conference (IMBC), produced by the Association of Marina Industries (AMI), has published a 24-page preliminary brochure detailing plans for the event taking place January 31-February 2, 2018, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA.

The brochure includes information on its more than 20 educational sessions, special networking events such as the popular Social Night, and general information about the show. It also highlights its platinum partners and a list of more than 80 companies already signed up to exhibit.

For 2018, IMBC will continue with its branded session tracks: IMBC Extra; Operations, Marina Design and Engineering; and Boatyard and Service. The field trip, AMI member meeting, and first time attendee reception will also return.

“Our team works hard all year long researching topics and speakers to create a conference that is rich with relevant content. We produce a preliminary brochure for IMBC to give industry professionals a glimpse into the sessions and events we are planning,” said AMI Chair Brad Gross, CMM. “Prospective attendees will see that the benefits of attending far outweigh the registration and travel costs. IMBC is the place to be if you are in the marina and boatyard industry.”
