Don’t wait to register for the annual Marine Fabricators Conference being held Jan. 25-27, 2024, at the Tradewinds Island Resorts in St. Pete Beach, Fla.
The conference features three full days of education and networking designed to help marine fabricators cultivate industry connections, improve their efficiency and increase revenue. This year, the conference will include a four-hour pre-show workshop for beginning fabricators on January 24 entitled “Bimini and Enclosure Panels Basics.” Attendance is capped at 25 to encourage hands-on interaction.
One of the most skilled fabricators in the industry, David Elliott, will present two education sessions: “Down Under Dodgers” and “Shades and More Shades.” Additional education sessions include 3D data capture, simplifying complex upholstery designs, roundtable topic discussions, social media savvy for marine fabricators, demonstrations of customer pitch materials and appreciation gifts, an estimates and invoicing panel discussion and much more.
The Fabricator Olympics are back, and attendees will have numerous opportunities to connect with fellow fabricators and suppliers including the exhibit show floor, a pre-show beach party, the opening night 80s-themed Costume Party, a lunchtime shop tour and the formal Closing Dinner and Awards event.
