Register for ABC to Join the Effort to Protect and Grow Recreational Boating
The recreational boating industry is a powerful economic driver, generating more than $230 billion in annual economic impact and supporting more than 812,000 jobs across the U.S.
With American-made boats in demand around the world, the strength of the recreational boating industry depends on policies that protect boater access, promote manufacturing competitiveness, support infrastructure investment, and promote innovation.
The annual American Boating Congress (ABC), taking place May 12-14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., provides a critical opportunity to engage directly with policymakers and ensure that recreational boating remains a priority in legislative and regulatory discussions.
ABC 2025 will feature:
- Meetings with members of Congress and key federal agencies to advocate for policies that sustain the recreational boating industry’s economic growth.
- Briefings from influential policymakers and industry leaders on trade, manufacturing, sustainability, and regulatory issues impacting boating.
- Networking opportunities with business leaders, boating advocates, and policy experts.
With discussions underway on tax policy, trade agreements, infrastructure investment, and environmental regulations, decisions made in Washington will have long-term consequences for American boat builders.
