Marina World Magazine is partnering with the Association of Marina Industries (AMI) as the International Media Sponsor for the AMI Conference & Expo 2026. The event, recognised as the foremost gathering for marina professionals, will be held from 2 to 4 February 2026 at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, with the Hilton Daytona Beach Resort serving as the host hotel.
The AMI Conference & Expo focuses on the needs of marina and boatyard owners, operators, managers, dock masters, harbourmasters, boat builders, repairers and consultants. The event offers a unique platform for exchanging industry information, discussing future trends and conducting business within the marina sector.
AMI was formed in 2005 from the merger of two industry bodies, the Marina Operators Association of America (MOAA) and the International Marina Institute (IMI). Today, the association supports over 1,000 members worldwide, representing marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs and moorage facilities that accommodate more than 240,000 recreational watercraft and employ over 13,000 marine tradespeople.
The association is also responsible for the Certified Marina Manager (CMM) and Certified Marina Operator (CMO) programmes, which set global standards in marina education and certification.
Since its founding in 2000, Marina World has been a leading international B2B publication serving the marina and waterfront industry across the globe. Its partnership with AMI will provide extensive media coverage of the conference, highlighting key industry insights and developments.
Marina industry stakeholders are encouraged to attend the AMI Conference & Expo 2026 to connect with peers, discover innovations and access essential training opportunities.
