Final Weeks to Secure Early-Bird Rates for ABC, the Premier Advocacy Event

Taking place May 4-6, ABC brings together industry leaders from across the country to engage directly with decisionmakers on the issues that matter most to marine manufacturers and the broader boating community. This year's conversations will focus on strengthening boater access to public waters, advancing innovation in marine technology, supporting U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, and investing in recreation infrastructure.

ABC is a key moment each year and is part of a broader, ongoing effort to ensure the recreational boating industry's voice is consistently heard in Washington. Throughout the year, NMMA and our members meet with lawmakers, engage federal agencies, and participate in coalition efforts to share the industry's story and advocate for smart, balanced policies. ABC builds on that momentum by bringing the full strength of the industry to Capitol Hill at one time, which reinforces our message, strengthens relationships, and drives progress on shared priorities.

At a time when federal decisions on tax policy, trade, infrastructure, and regulation are shaping the future of American manufacturing, ABC provides a critical opportunity to elevate our collective voice. Recreational boating remains a uniquely American manufacturing story, supporting more than 812,000 jobs, generating $230 billion in annual economic impact, with 95% of boats sold in the U.S. made in the U.S. and 93% of manufacturers operating as small businesses.

Early bird registration closes April 11. Secure your spot today and join the effort to protect and expand access to our nation's waterways while supporting American manufacturing and innovation.
