The Show's brand new Summer Street entrance was liked by both exhibitors and attendees, with many positive comments on the impressive entrance and flow of traffic throughout the show. Other highlights of this year's Show include the annual Career Day. More than 100 local students and interested job seekers benefited from the Career Day hosted on Friday, February 14th in partnership with the Massachusetts Marine Trade Association. Students learned about careers in the marine industry through a Q&A sessions with local marine professionals. Additionally, other popular family friendly features drew a crowd such as the Build-A-Boat and the Paddleboat Pool. Finally, the brand new Discover Boating Experience (DBX) - a space for guests to mingle and relax while listening to short form seminars about boating - was a hit with Show visitors.
