AYCA TO HOLD EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIVE SEMINARS DURING NEWPORT CHARTER YACHT SHOW PRESENTED BY HELLY HANSEN ON THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2016
We are pleased to announce the continuation of the Educational and Informative Seminars organized and sponsored by the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA) during the Newport Charter Yacht Show, June 21-24, 2016. The Show will be at the new location, Newport Shipyard, which now owns and operates this important industry gathering, as well as, many other key New England events.
Thus, please "Save-The-Date" of Thursday, June 23, 2016 on your calendars to attend the Seminar from 9:00am - 12:00pm, with registration and a full breakfast starting at 8:15am. We will be on site at Newport Shipyard in the Event Tent. We already have a commitment from Neal Harrell of Brooks Marine Group to return this year as our amazing Moderator/Emcee and have several Speakers under consideration by the Committee to narrow down to have the best Seminar to date! More details will follow on the Speakers and Program Agenda as the information becomes available. This will not be the Show or Seminar to miss this Summer!
We are also actively seeking Sponsors for the Seminar at $ 500 per company. Interested parties should contact PR Chairperson, Jennifer M. Saia, jennifer@bnbyachtcharters.com, 401-619-1210.
P.S. If you have not registered for the Show, please go to www.newportchartershow.com. The more of us that register, the better the attendance will be from the yachts! Plus, if you register before April 15th, you’ll save 10-40% depending on the category your business belongs to!
Kind regards,
Jennifer M. Saia, Sandy Carney, Carol Kent, Molly Marston, Karen Kelly-Shea, and Sylvia Weston AYCA Members/PR Committee
