IMC
2008
May 25-28, 2008
Media Center
Ostend, Belgium
Billed as "the biggest international marina
conference in the world" and scheduled for May 25-28, 2008, on the
Flemish seacoast where marinas teem with cross channel cruising
yachts, the International Marina Conference will be held in the
Media Center in Oostend, Belgium. With all its coastal attractions,
the invigorating sea air, clean beaches, the freshness of the
mussels, monkfish, and other piscine species fished from the North
Sea, and a waterfront promenade lined with an array of tantalizing
seafood restaurants, Oostend is an ideal setting for a
marina/nautical tourism education conference.
Previous ICOMIA international marina conferences focused fully on
marina operation and management. IMC 2008 provides an added
dimension, networking with allied interest groups among
international yachtsmen, municipal marinas, and nautical tourism
promoters to point up the importance of marinas as boat tourist
destinations.
That's why a main conference theme is Alliances for Progress.
IMC 2008, like its predecessors, will field two days of intensive
panel discussion by international experts in marina design,
operation and management. A battery of speakers from Australia,
Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Japan, the UK and
USA is lined up to engage you in lively, interactive discussion of
what you want and need to know about how to run a successful marina
in today's environment.
ATM Chairman Ed Modzelewski will be attending. |
