The American Boat & Yacht Council this week announced that it opened registration for its sixth annual Marine Law Symposium. Scheduled for Feb. 29, 2024, The symposium equips participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate the legal complexities of recreational boating.

The agenda will include case studies on accident investigations and litigation, strategies for investigating small vessel incidents, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on boating accidents.

“We have carefully selected a panel of legal and insurance experts who have played significant roles in key marine law cases,” Kevin Scullen, ABYC membership director, said in a statement. “Attendees will leave with practical knowledge that will empower them to address legal issues and enhance safety and compliance in their operations.”

Professionals in the marine industry, such as surveyors, manufacturers, insurance agents, lawyers, compliance officers, expert witnesses, consultants, and those aspiring to join the field, can take advantage of the event as a continuing education opportunity. Participants will earn up to six continuing education units.
