The Marine Innovation Association (MIA), sustaining member of EBI, is inviting all members to encourage their marinas to take part in a survey, conducted under its work in the Marinas Group of ICOMIA (IMG), and get an opportunity to win free tickets for the World Marina Conference 2023 in Portugal.

ICOMIA has created a Smart Marinas Working Group to evaluate how the future marinas should evolve to meet customer needs and be prepared for the new trends ahead. The use of digital tools, which include software operated activity, wireless-enabled actions, and any other technology that is based on digital communication and data sharing, is increasing, which requires marinas to adjust.

The IMG of ICOMIA is seeking marinas' input to evaluate their current utilization level of digital tools and hear their thoughts on how they envision the future ahead of us. Please participate in this Working Group survey and encourage marina members to do so as well as input is important to formulate valid industry guidance. From all completed survey responses ICOMIA will draw 5 lucky winners, who will each receive one free ticket for the next ICOMIA World Marinas Conference 2023 in Vilamoura/Portugal, courtesy of the host and IMG member APPR. Also, MIAs and member marina associations are encouraged to circulate this survey with their membership - the association from which most responses have been received will receive a free booth at WMC 2023. 

The deadline for survey submissions is 31 March. The link to the survey can be found here.
