The Marine Recreation Association (MRA) has issued a “Call for Presentations” for the 2019 MRA Educational Conference & Trade Show to be held October 21 to 23, 2019, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, California.

Typical presentations should fit a 50-minute timeframe focused on marina and boatyard industry marketing, management, development, regulation, technology, and other topics of interest, in a multi-media and/or roundtable format.

The MRA’s annual conference provides the opportunity for marine industry professionals to share their expertise and experience with hundreds of marine business operators, developers, owners, and other industry insiders from across the western U.S. and elsewhere. The three-day conference will include seminars and roundtable discussions covering key marine industry management, operations, and marketing concerns and focused on enhancing guest services and customer satisfaction, improving marine operations and regulatory compliance, and optimizing business growth and results. The event also includes a marine trade show featuring a broad range of products and services.

Presentation proposals must be submitted by Friday, January 11, via email to timms@marina.org. Proposals must include the title of the presentation, a brief overview of the subject matter, the presentation format, and the name and short bio of the presenter.

Submitted proposals will be reviewed at the Board of Directors Annual Planning Meeting, and approved presentations will be notified by the end of February.
