The Boating Ontario Annual Conference is constantly evolving to ensure it encompasses all aspects of our ever- changing industry. We're thrilled to say we've mixed things up again this year\, and we can't wait for you to experience the 2019 Conference with us! About Boating Ontario &\; Our Annual Conference! The Boating Ontario Association represents over 500 marina operators\, boat dealers\, brokers\, and suppliers in Ontario's diverse recreational boating industry. Our annual conference provides you with endless opportunities to network\, share ideas\, further your knowledge and learn from industry experts. The conference program focuses on boating industry priorities identified by the members of the Boating Ontario Association and attracts over 300 industry leaders and key decision-makers from across the province. What Can You Expect? 1) Networking and Knowledge - you asked\, now we're prepared to deliver! Our 2018 Post-Conference survey results determined that the key components our delegates want in their 2019 Conference are networking and knowledge. So\, we've packed our agenda full of opportunities to network with other industry members and peers while also getting the low-down on all sides of the recreational boating industry in Ontario! Check out our Agenda tab to get a feel for the awesome sessions we'll be bringing you in November! 2) BOATS - Boating Ontario Annual Trade Show - the inaugural event! 2019 will see the first- ever BOATS (Boating Ontario Annual Trade Show) event! BOATS kicks off the conference Monday evening along with the Welcome Reception. Enjoy live music\, food\, and drinks while you network with trade partners and fellow delegates. This year\, the Trade Show will be bigger - 10' x 10' booths bigger - and better than ever. Another first is the presence of booths in the main presentation room (Great Room) throughout the ENTIRE conference!
