Changing it up this year, AYCA is organizing six roundtables for speakers to rotate from table to table for "speed info presentations." It will be an intimate setting where you will sit at a table of your peers and gather information as presenters bring pertinent industry information to you!
Guest speakers, also hosted and organized by the AYCA, will be featured on June 19 and 20 for one hour during breakfast (8:45am-9:45am) on subjects important for charter professionals and captains.
The AYCA committee is working on securing interesting topics this year...so far this is the line up:
SOS YACHTING - Learn about the European VAT and chartering in countries abroad.
YACHTING MAGAZINE - Changing face of affluence and generational marketing US.
CUSTOMS - Hear how new regulations affect our charter yachts and clients.
Round Table Participation:
