International lineup for Marine13
Luminaries shed light on pleasure boatingAn impressive lineup of international speakers is being assembled for Marine13, the inaugural Australian international conference and exhibition for marinas, recreational boating and boating safety to be held in Sydney, April 2013.
Chairman of the Marine13 Steering Committee, Jeff d’Albora said he was pleased to announce that speakers from Europe, North America and Asia are joining a strong line-up of Australian speakers for the event.
“Marine13 will primarily deliver specific sessions for the three dedicated event streams. However there are key plenary sessions that link the streams under topics such as ‘Engaging Boaters of Today and Tomorrow’.
“I am particularly pleased that this session will be delivered by Thom Dammrich, President of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in North America.
“NMMA’s ‘Discover Boating’ program is at the cutting-edge of communication with new and potential boaters,” d’Albora said.
The founder of the namesake marina chain, d’Albora said recreational boating in established markets is under pressure from a range of social economic factors including a time-poor society and an ageing demographic.
“All delegates at Marine13 will learn from the latest strategies and results arising from the NMMA’s award-winning ‘Welcome to the Water’ campaign designed to increase participation in recreational boating,” adds d’Albora.
In the conference safety stream, Jean Murray, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council, will be presenting in the safety subject of risk.
Murray also serves on the U.S. National Safe Boating Council. During her 34 year career in the Canadian public service, Murray spent 14 years with the Canadian Coast Guard, including in the positions of Director General, Rescue, Safety and Environmental Response and Director General, Marine Navigation Services.
Murray was also Executive Director of the National Search and Rescue Secretariat, National Defence and Director General, Emergency Management Policy, Public Safety Canada. She is said to be a strong believer in the value of collaboration and partnerships in addressing marine safety issues.
All three streams are attracting strong interest from lead personnel across many countries that are keen to share their experiences at the international Marine13 event. Further announcements of keynote speakers for will be posted on the event website www.Marine13.com by the end of August.
