The National Marine Trades Council will hold its annual conference July 10-13 at the Lighthouse Inn in West Dennis, Mass. The organization has not held the conference, which is open to leaders from local, state and national marine trades associations, since 2019.

NMTC said in a statement that Kitty McGowan, president of the U.S. Superyacht Association, and Lori Wheeler, vice president of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, will co-chair the conference, which is hosted by the Massachusetts Marine Trades Association.

Agenda topics include association management, boat-show marketing and planning, the future of the boating industry, advocacy initiatives and association profit center ideas.
