Before this year’s Marine Dealer Conference & Expo theme and first printed brochure have even appeared in the magazine, close to 250 people have already registered for the event, representing a record-setting early registration total.
With six months to go before the conference and full-scale promotion yet to launch, more than 170 dealer attendees have signed up. That already represents more than a third of last year’s dealer total, which was up for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, almost half of those new registrants are completely new to the event.
“We were very excited that our early registration offers were so well received,” said Mike Davin, Senior Editor at Boating Industry magazine, who co-produces the event along with the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas. “We feel like it’s an endorsement of the type of event we’ve been able to put together over the years, as well as the agenda for the 2012 MDCE.”
Early Bird Registration is still open. That means that dealers can register for $399, and MRAA Members can register for $349 per employee — that’s a $50 savings per registered employee!
