MARINE BUSINESS NEWS UPDATE
NEWS UPDATE
18 March 2022
Publishers note
With only two months until the Gold Coast portfolio of Marine activities, you can understand why the industry is hyped.
In a trilogy of fabulous events, the industry will be treated to ASMEX2022, followed by the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, which in turn is followed by Marinas22. I can’t begin to tell you how many people I have spoken to that will in some way participate in one or more of these events. I for one am planning to be at all of them.
And in late breaking news, the MIA have generously extended the early bird benefits for Marinas22 until 5pm Friday 25 March. These events give business owners the opportunity to hear and learn from their peers. My advice is to engage in as many of these activities as possible. Go in with an open mind and you will no doubt come out well rewarded. You can find links to the booking pages on Marine Business News, or if you still are uncertain, please drop us an email and we can help direct you.
