Lectures:
****Since the last posting, Kurt Hasselbalch has had to cancel.****
I have taken the liberty of moving Bill Full into Kurt’s slot to help Bill with some slack before his MMA commitments later on in the day. I have also been given some additional guidance in describing the lectures from the participants.
My hope is that the lectures all would be of value to experienced boaters and exhibitors. We shoot for 45 minutes. If possible I would like the talk to be informal enough so that the speaker has flexibility to read what the audience might be particularly interested in and let the subject wander a bit if that is appropriate.
Friday IS “NAMS day” (National Association of Marine Surveyors.) NMAS holds a membership meeting in the morning before the show starts and the several talks that they sponsor during the day count toward continuing education credits for their organization. The lectures after 10 AM, WHEN THE SHOW OPENS are open to the public AND EXHIBITORS.
Disclaimer: The times and substance are subject to unannounced changes. The web page should be considered an approximation only. Call 207-774-1067 on the day of the lecture if you require up to date information.
