This year's Conference will kick off on Monday, October 16th with two special events occurring during the day, and a Welcome Reception for all attendees and guests that evening:
- The 28th Annual MRA Golf Tournament will tee-off at the Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe with a shotgun start at 7:30 AM, which will allow participants to also take part in the afternoon Electric Boat Sea Trials. Morgan Run Club & Resort is located just three miles from Del Mar and offers remarkable and challenging play for every level of player. The $119 tournament fee includes green fee, cart, range balls, drink tickets and food voucher, and the “best ball scramble” format will make this a fun event.
- Later in the day, an Electric Boat Sea Trial will be held at Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina giving participants an opportunity to experience this emerging technology first-hand and learn more about the myriad of opportunities and potential challenges facing the marine industry. Reservations are required and transportation to the marina is not provided, but car-pooling is always an option.
- The Conference Welcome Reception will be held Monday evening in the Conference Trade Show pavilion at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines conference center. Trade Show exhibits will be set up and the evening is always a wonderful opportunity for attendees to meet and mingle in an informal and fun atmosphere.
The regular Conference sessions will start early Tuesday morning with breakfast in the Trade Show pavilion, the President’s Welcome, and Keynote speaker, followed by two days of seminars and roundtable discussions covering a broad range of key industry management, operations, and marketing concerns. The Marine Trade Show will feature the latest technology, products, and services from leading industry vendors and contractors focused on innovation, growth, and profitability as the marine industry evolves in today’s rapidly changing world.
