Education, Information and Celebration
to Advance Professionalism
Annually, more than 160 yacht sales professionals attend the traditional full--day events hosted in Annapolis and Providence. This program, generously supported by YBAA sponsors and partners, is offered each summer to provide yacht sales professionals educational/informational programs.
Attendees participate in presentations offered by industry experts on a variety of relevant and timely topics including technical, legal, sales and marketing. In addition, time allocated for valuable peer-to-peer networking.
In 2020, we carry on the YBAA-U tradition with a special feature. To help celebrate YBAA's 100 Year Anniversary, Gary Jobson will deliver a keynote each day.
