The National Marine Trades Council recently concluded its annual conference, which was hosted by the Maine Marine Trades Association in Portland, Maine.
The event brought together boating industry leaders, association representatives and stakeholders from across the country to engage in discussions, view presentations and participate in networking.
“Every year, NMTC is where marine trade leaders come together to talk, connect and learn from each other,” conference chair Lori Wheeler said in a statement. “It’s all about working together to support our members, grow our industry and keep it thriving for the future.”
This year’s sessions covered a range of topics, including workforce development, industry advocacy, boat-show strategies, legislative updates and marketing initiatives. Attendees also explored the impacts of tariffs, regulatory and legislative trends, and shared best practices from state legislative sessions.
