IBEX announces 2019 Super Sessions and special events

The International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) announced today a series of Super Sessions and special events, as part of its Education Conference. The Super Sessions are hosted by exhibiting companies and industry associations to offer in-depth training and topic-specific learning. These pre-conference Super Sessions take place Sunday and Monday (September 29-30), prior to the opening of the IBEX Exhibit Halls on Tuesday, October 1.

Among the 10 Super Sessions being offered at IBEX, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) will host the full-day session Challenges and Solutions in Workforce Development and the Association of Marina Industries (AMI) will host two Super Sessions, Marinas 101 and the Tampa Area Marina & Boatyard Tour. Other Super Sessions will be hosted by American Boat Builders & Repairers Association (ABBRA), American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), AIRMAR, CZone, National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), WEST SYSTEM, and Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME).

“Our Education Conference is a big part of what draws visitors to IBEX,” said Anne Dunbar, IBEX show director. “The broad range of seminars, super sessions, and special events provide an outstanding opportunity for marine professionals to increase their understanding of the latest developments in their field. We appreciate all the work our industry partners and exhibitors do to create unique learning experiences that make our expanded program more valuable.”

In addition to the pre-conference Super Sessions, there are several Special Events being held before and during the show. Along with its Super Session on September 30, SNAME will hold its one-day, two-track Small Craft Technology Symposium. This symposium will consist of presentations of technical papers by subject matter experts on new design concepts, structural design issues, safety, and analysis techniques.

The third annual Grow Boating Marketing Summit, also held on September 30, is a full-day of learning focused on the latest in digital marketing practices. The event features educational and inspirational speakers, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities.
