BWI – Marketers Newsmaker Event, Thursday Noon
NMMA President Thom Dammrich will be the featured speaker at a joint gathering of BWI and the Marine Marketers of America (MMA) on October 25 during FLIBS. He will be joined by a panel of industry experts to discuss how, when and where the tide is turning in the recreational boating industry.
Aso participating in the roundtable discussion are Jack Ellis, managing director at Info-Link Technologies, Inc., Laurent Fabre, formerly director of sales and marketing for Beneteau’s North American powerboat division and newly appointed president of BeneteauAmerica, and John Wooldridge, editor-in-chief at PassageMaker Magazine and current BWI president. Michael Sciulla, a member of the boards of both organizations, will moderate the discussion.
The luncheon event is co-sponsored by Info-Link Technologies, My-Villages and Show Management.
“This is the second time that our two associations representing the marine industry’s leading writers and marketers have joined forces to produce a compelling and thought-provoking event,” said John Wooldridge. “We believe the discussion topic is highly relevant to the industry at large and will address many of the latest facts, data and recovery initiatives underway in our marketplace.”
The gathering is open to the marine community at large, and will be held on Thursday, October 25 from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Grandview Room of the Bahia Mar Resort during the opening day of the Show.
