Online registration for the 2010 American Boating Congress (ABC), May 5-6, is now open.

ABC is the recreational boating industry’s premier legislative conference, bringing industry leaders to Washington, DC, to help formulate public policy and present a unified front on issues that impact marine businesses. The conference offers attendees an opportunity to discuss and learn about state and federal legislation, get first-hand insight from policymakers and network with industry leaders.

Similar to ABC 2009, this year’s conference schedule will be streamlined to one full day of sessions on Thurs., May 6, with supplemental meetings on Wed., May 5. ABC 2010 will be hosted at a new venue, the Liaison Capitol Hill hotel.

For the first time, attendees can take advantage of a discounted “early bird” conference registration rate of $130 if they register before March 31.
