MDCE 2015 issues call for presentations
MINNEAPOLIS — Organizers of the Marine Dealer Conference & Expo are seeking educational session proposals from potential speakers for the 2015 MDCE, which will be held Nov. 15-18 at the Orange County Convention Center and Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando, Fla. The deadline to submit a proposal is Mar. 13.
Presentations should be directed at an audience of marine dealership professionals, from dealership principals and general managers to employees and managers of such departments as sales, marketing, service, parts, accessories, finance and insurance, boat rentals/clubs, and marina operations.
MDCE organizers are looking for presentations on advanced, intermediate and fundamental business topics. The information to be presented should be timely, informative and educational, offering concrete takeaways the audience can bring back to their business to accelerate future success.
If you have an idea for an educational seminar that would make a meaningful contribution to MDCE 2015 and the presentation skills to entertain and engage our audience, we want to hear from you! To submit a presentation proposal, please visit http://www.mraa.com/?page=MDCE_Presentations and fill out the form.
For additional information, contact Liz Walz at 315-692-4533 or liz@mraa.com.
The 2015 MDCE will offer two full days of Educational Tracks, in addition to a half-day of Pre-Conference Workshops and two keynotes. The conference has traditionally included three Educational Tracks, but last year it expanded to four: Leadership, Sales, Marketing and Service Plus. A Closing Keynote address also was added in 2014 and will likewise conclude the 2015 event.
In 2014, MDCE attracted more than 580 dealers, 40 percent of which attended for the very first time. MRAA’s goal is to grow the event to more than 1,000 dealer attendees. Total MDCE 2014 attendance, including exhibitors, topped more than 1,100 marine industry professionals. To learn more, visit MRAA.com/MDCE.
