The Marine Dealer Conference & Expo is moving to early December in 2016.

These dates, which represent a divergence from MDCE’s traditional mid-November time frame, were selected in response to the new schedule for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

“The Fort Lauderdale show has moved from late October to early November,” explains Amy Collins, vice president of Boating Industry, which co-produces MDCE alongside the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas. “We’re responding to this change by moving MDCE 2016 to December because it’s the right thing to do for the many marine industry professionals who participate in both events.”

The 2015 event, which is scheduled to take place Nov. 15-18 at the Orange County Convention Center, Rosen Plaza Hotel and Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, features 12 Pre-Conference Workshops and four concurrent Educational Tracks, including Leadership, Sales, Marketing and Service Plus, plus an MRAA Special Session, and an Opening and Closing Keynote.
