Only 7 weeks left before the annual NMEA conference and expo begins in San Diego! Here are a few reminders for those who have and who haven't yet registered and things to think about in planning your visit:
1. Booths
There are a limited number of booths. If you develop marine electronics, the conference is THE place to get your message to the trade.
2. Registrations
If you have not yet registered, do so soon! The early bird deadline has been extended.
If you plan to take the NEW MEI (Jan. 2013), NEW AMEI (Sept. 2013), or NEW NMEA 2000 (Sept. 2012) certificate courses, please register soon to reserve your place and receive your study materials in advance. – Remember – only at the conference do you get a 28% discount off of the normal fee for NMEA certificate courses.
3. Discounts on product orders
Nearly half of the exhibiting manufacturers have signed on to the 5% conference discount on purchase orders! Do the math and figure out how to pay for your trip.

4. Sponsors
The NMEA thanks all the members who have already committed $ to support the conference social functions! Your generosity towards your industry colleagues makes the difference for an effective and enjoyable conference. Every attendee notices your sponsorship and your commitment to the association.
Please be a Booster sponsor if you can – every one of these is important
