World-Class Education

How does Dealer Week help your business succeed?

Marine dealers that sell and service boats attend Dealer Week because it’s the only event centered on dealership operations to gather all the information they need to tackle their business challenges. The 3-day conference puts everything in one place to allow you to learn from professional trainers, industry experts, vendor partners, and fellow attendees. Classrooms are built inside the Expo Hall to enable seamless progression from learning about a new strategy to finding a partner to help implement it to discussing your new plan with a peer who has been there before.

Industry Expert Hosts

There’s a lot to navigate at Dealer Week, which is why some of the most requested trainers in the industry are there to act as hosts for each of the three Education Pathways. The hosts help attendees pull out the most valuable takeaways from each session and draw connections between the things they’re learning.

Roundtable Discussions

No one understands the unique challenges faced by boat dealers better than other dealers. That’s why the 3-day conference features a series of Roundtable Discussions that let you and your team learn from people who have been there themselves.
