Registration for the recreational boating industry's annual advocacy event, the American Boating Congress, is now open to all industry stakeholders. The American Boating Congress (ABC) will return to Washington, D.C. from May 8-10, 2023, bringing together all segments of the recreational boating industry to share its collective voice on Capitol Hill and address pressing matters for the industry. Following the return of a successful in-person ABC in 2022, the NMMA will welcome the industry back to The Wharf, D.C. at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Early-bird pricing is available through April 1, 2023. Stakeholders may register here or at the link below.

Bill Yeargin, President and CEO of Correct Craft and NMMA's newly appointed Chair of the Board of Directors recently highlighted the importance of the American Boating Congress in Boating Industry.

Research and experience teach us that no lobbyist is as influential as an employer, business owner, CEO, or another leader from a member of Congress' district or state," Yeargin notes. "Attending ABC to learn about the issues and then going to Capitol Hill with others from your state is the best way to update representatives on matters that affect your business. These meetings help elected officials understand your position before they vote on issues that affect our industry."
