MINNEAPOLIS, October 16 – Currently, more than 400 marine dealers have already registered to attend the Dealer Week 2024 Conference and Expo announces the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, after its Early Bird registration period ended on September 30.
“Traditionally about half or a little less than half of our dealer attendees take advantage of our Early Bird offer, which is great,” said Mike Davin, VP of Industry Relations at MRAA. “Of course, many dealers turn their attention toward our Dealer Week event, which happens in December, a little later in the fall, and of course we completely understand. But we use the early registrations as a barometer of how the event is tracking each year. We’re happy to be on pace for another big event.”
Dealer Week 2024 is moving to a new location but continuing a tradition of strong dealer interest. After record-breaking attendance at Dealer Week 2023, held in Tampa, Fla., the event is moving to Orlando and remains on track to meet or exceed last year’s attendance numbers. Last year’s the MRAA welcomed more than 720 dealer attendees and 1,500+ industry personnel in total to Dealer Week.
This year, the conference already has a record number of exhibitor booths and more than 150 exhibiting businesses committed to attend. Limited booth space is still available for companies seeking to reach marine industry decision-makers, showcase their products and services, build brand awareness and network with industry professionals and experts.

“We are only seven weeks away from Dealer Week 2024, so there’s still time to book your flights, reserve your hotel and join us in Orlando,” said Davin. “We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback about this year’s theme and the focus of the event on actionable ways to grow business in today’s climate.”
Dealer Week, hosted annually by the MRAA, happens Dec. 8-11, 2024, in West Halls D2&E of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. The 2024 event theme is “Outperform,” with a schedule of events designed to provide dealers with the tools and strategies they need to exceed the average business in today’s market.
