New boating industry expo announced

AUSTRALASIA - The Boating Industries Alliance Australia (BIAA) and the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA) have announced a first joint exhibition under the banner of Marine 13.
 
The joint venture will cover marinas, recreational boating and boating safety.

Marine 13 will be held on the east coast of Australia around April/May 2013. Final details on the location and exact time will be finalised in early 2012.    

The MIAA's two-day event this year was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
 
“We now have the framework in place to bring all the stakeholders in the recreational boating sector together,” said BIAA chairman Darren Vaux.
 
“Being held every two years these events will be a ‘must do’ for industry and government committed to excellence in sustainable growth and improved safety outcomes for recreational boating.”
 
MIAA president Andrew Chapman said this development was important for the marina sector.
 
“We are committed to building on the strength of the marina content from previous years as well as embracing the additional benefits that come from the sharing of knowledge at a whole of industry conference,” he said.
 
Several Australian boating industry representatives joined forces this year to launch a new not-for-profit boat show in the country’s north.
