The International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) will continue to support the next generation of marine industry leaders with their Marine Millennial initiative, a program for young professionals under the age of 35 to connect, learn, share and expand their presence in the industry.   Several activities are being planned to take place during IBEX 2016 in Tampa, Florida October 4 – 6, 2016 including mentoring and education programs as well as social and networking events.

“All interested millennials are invited to join the Marine Millennials at this year’s IBEX Show in Tampa,” said Warren McCrickard, Infinity Fabrics, co-chair of the program.  “If you are under 35 and involved in the marine industry we are excited to have you join us for several activities we have planned including Taco Tuesday, Coffee & Conversation Mentor Sessions, After Hours Meet-up, the Hang Ten Program and much more.”

To ensure the group’s mission aligns to the overall industry goals, there will be a MARINE MENTOR Program, allowing members the opportunity to learn from current and former leaders in the marine industry. Speakers to be announced.
