The recreational boating industry is hosting its annual advocacy event, the American Boating Congress (ABC), in Washington, D.C. from May 8–10, 2024. Influential leaders from all segments of the recreational boating and fishing industry are invited to gather in our nation’s capital and advocate as one voice on pressing matters for our industry.

This year’s advocacy event will include meetings with influential members of Congress and staff on Capitol Hill, timely political and policy updates, networking opportunities, receptions, and a keynote dinner. Please note, April 15 is the last day to register to be guaranteed meetings on Capitol Hill.

Attendees can expect to:

• Meet with lawmakers and advocate for recreational boating alongside the best in the industry.
