well-established marina and boating
infrastructure and a lot to offer in
terms of knowledge and expertise.
The beautiful scenery in which IWMC

the attractiveness of the event. The
theme of the conference reflects very
well some of the main challenges the
industry is facing today and will provide
a great forum for discussions and
