The International Marina & Boatyard Conference’s preliminary brochure was released and placed on the conference website, organizers announced.

The conference, set for Jan. 26-28, 2011, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, is produced by the Association of Marina Industries.

The brochure contains the show’s schedule, with seminar descriptions; a list of current exhibitors and sponsors; details about the conference’s special events; plans for the annual field trip; an agenda that features networking opportunities, travel tips and conference discounts; registration instructions; and other important conference information.

New additions and changes to the conference’s 2011 program include a first-time attendee reception, a barbecue welcome and a clean-marina workshop.

The conference staff created a Return on Investment Toolkit to help attendees quantify the benefits of participating and is creating a phone app so conference information will be easily accessible.
