AIWA Virtual Annual Meeting ~ November 19, 2020

The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Association will hold our Annual Meeting on Thursday, November 19, 2020. We are pleased to present this virtual collaborative event to bring together our members and stakeholders and connect them with federal and state agencies who have leadership roles in managing the waterway.

This one-day schedule format will feature several sessions led by our industry’s leaders and practitioners offering vital information while covering a series of topics for all waterway users.
Sessions will include:

State of the Waterway – Management & Maintenance Project Updates from USACE Districts
Updates from our Recreational Boating Community – Boat US, NMMA, MRAA, and others
Beneficial Use of Dredge Materials – New Applications and Directions
Updates to Charting and Mapping efforts along the AIWW from NOAA
Marine Industry and Commercial Operators, Port Authority, Contracting Corporations, and Engineering Design

Shifting to an online virtual platform has its advantages. Even though we all would like to see one another in person, we have the opportunity for increased participation and invite you to share this meeting with your colleagues! This is our annual opportunity to learn more together! If there is a topic or speaker you would like us to consider for inclusion on the agenda, please email AIWA Executive Director Brad Pickel.

Registration is available here for only a $75 investment and we thank you for your continued support, active participation, and look forward to seeing you on November 19th!

Sponsorships and group rates are available. Please email us for more information.
