Expo Space at NMEA Conference Sells Out

SEVERNA PARK, MD—The exposition at this year’s NMEA International Marine Electronics Conference and Expo, to be held Sept. 26 – 28, in Bellevue, Washington has sold out. The 2017 NMEA Conference and Expo is the largest event in North America serving the marine electronics trade.

“This is the second consecutive year that we have sold all the expo space,” said Mark Reedenauer, President and Executive Director of the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). “The high interest in the Expo is an indication of market growth and the hard work put forth by the NMEA Conference Committee, Board of Directors, and staff. This year’s expo will feature 4948 top manufacturers—one of our largest expos of the past decade—with many showing their new products they are rolling out for 2018.”

The event, Reedenauer pointed out, offers the best selection of training and educational opportunities of the year. The 2017 NMEA Conference and Expo will also offer on-the-water demo boats and valuable face-to-face time for dealers and manufacturers at the equipment and services expo, which will be spread over two afternoons and evenings.
