YBAA is heading to Dealer Week Conference & Expo 2026, taking place December 6–9 at the Tampa Convention Center, and there are even more reasons for YBAA members to take part this year.
YBAA President Bill Bollin, CPYB, will be in attendance on behalf of the association, connecting with members and industry partners while representing YBAA throughout the event.
For CPYB-certified professionals, Dealer Week also provides an opportunity to continue investing in your professional development. Attendees who participate in Dealer Week educational sessions can submit those sessions for continuing education (CE) credit following the event using YBAA's Self-Report Form.
Please note that CE credit applies to participation in qualifying Dealer Week educational sessions, not general attendance or time spent in the Expo Hall. Explore the Dealer Week education program in advance to plan the sessions you'd like to attend.
Education for a Changing Marine Industry
This year's Dealer Week theme, The New Fundamentals, centers on three areas increasingly shaping the marine industry: AI adoption, rising customer expectations, and operational efficiency.
Programming will span four education pathways (Leadership, Sales & Marketing, Service & Parts, and Industry & Partner) with practical sessions designed to help marine professionals strengthen their businesses and respond to a changing marketplace.
Attendees will also have opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with dealers, yacht sales professionals, marinas, manufacturers, service providers, and other industry partners from across the recreational marine community.
