“With up to $100 in discounts and more education than ever before, MDCE 2015 offers incredible value to those who register this time of year, but this promotion also gives us the chance to help attendees get more out of their experiences at MDCE,” explains Liz Walz, vice president of the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, which co-produces the MDCE with Boating Industry. “The VIP Kit is packed with tools, resources and coupons, including an insider’s guide to this year’s show that they will receive in early November.”
Available to anyone who registers for the MDCE on or before August 31, the VIP Event Planning Kit will offer tips, ideas and opportunities for driving up their return on investment at the MDCE. The kit will include:
· A custom letter with advice on how to get the most out of the MDCE

· A detailed overview of the educational schedule, content and speakers to assist in planning an agenda in advance, including speaker videos

· An Insider Tips Guide from show staff, showcasing little-known, behind-the-scenes tips and ideas that will help you maximize your time at the show
“We’ve truly made this year’s MDCE new, based on feedback from the marine retail community,” explains Jonathan Sweet, editor-in-chief of Boating Industry, co-producer of the event. “From the expansion of the Pre-Conference Workshops to the addition of the Learning Labs and all the new topics and speakers in between, this year’s MDCE will deliver more takeaways than our attendees have ever experienced. The VIP Event Planning Kit will help them capture those that will make the biggest difference for their marine business.”
This comprehensive promotional offer is available beginning today and lasting through August 31. The VIP Event Planning Kit will be delivered to attendees electronically the week prior to the MDCE.

This year’s 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, Fla., features 12 Pre-Conference Workshops and four concurrent Educational Tracks focused on Leadership, Sales, Marketing and Service Plus, plus an MRAA Special Session and an Opening and Closing keynote.
The 2015 MDCE has generated record dealer registrations so far this year, compared to the same period of time in previous years. Inspired by marine retailers’ own recommendations for the ideal event, this year’s MDCE campaign theme — “Made New. By You.” — may become the rallying cry for a resurging industry.
