Performance on Deck: A Marine Seminar for Fabricators to Learn and Connect

Seeking continued education and networking opportunities in the world of marine fabrication? Look no further than our new, traveling seminar – Performance on Deck – where we explore emerging trends, product applications, and what it takes to run a successful business in today’s landscape.

At this event, you’ll gain knowledge on best practices from industry experts, watch live demonstrations, connect with peers and expand your network, and discover innovative products from trusted brands at a vendor market. Past presentation topics have included: U-Zip, Why Sunbrella, Clear Vinyl 101, Tools Needed to go Digital, Knowing your Worth, and more – and they’re evolving with each seminar.

“It’s nice to be surrounded by others in the industry and to get reenergized about what I’ve chosen to do as my profession,” Rebecca Segrest, owner of Off Season Canvas, said at the most recent seminar. “It’s fun to hear other voices, what they’re engaging in and the way the market is increasing across the board.”

So far, Performance on Deck has been held in Baltimore, Maryland; City of Industry, California; and St. Augustine, Florida, with plans to continue in new locations.
