The CWR Dealer Training & Expo is set to return to Atlantic City, New Jersey, from February 3-7, offering five days of industry-focused training and networking. 

Designed for dealers across the marine and outdoor industries, the event prioritizes education over direct sales while providing opportunities for business growth and engagement with over 100 vendors.

CWR, in collaboration with manufacturers, representatives, and trade groups, is hosting this annual event at a new venue—the Golden Nugget Atlantic City Hotel, Casino & Marina. 

Dealers will have access to training sessions, hands-on product demonstrations, and networking opportunities aimed at strengthening their businesses.

The expo features an extensive lineup of vendor training sessions from companies like Lowrance, Simrad, Furuno, Raymarine, Garmin, and JL Audio, among others. 

These sessions, which span from Monday to Wednesday, cover topics such as new product applications, installation techniques, and technical insights. 

Wednesday afternoon marks the official opening of the expo floor, where vendors will showcase the latest advancements in marine and outdoor technologies.

The event is structured to provide dealers with the knowledge necessary to enhance their offerings and improve customer experiences. 

Attendees will have direct access to vendor representatives for personalized guidance on new products and promotions.

For those looking to expand their technical expertise, the event also includes specialized courses on Thursday and Friday. 

The Basic NMEA 2000 Installer Training and Advanced NMEA Training courses, priced at $520, offer in-depth instruction on marine electronics installation. Given the high demand for these courses, early registration is encouraged, as last year’s sessions reached capacity.

With dealers from across the country in attendance, the expo serves as a hub for professional development and industry networking. 

The event’s format allows business owners to explore new products while forming valuable partnerships that can enhance their operations in the coming year. Discounted hotel rates are available for a limited time, underscoring the importance of early registration.

The CWR Dealer Training & Expo continues to be a key industry event, equipping professionals with the tools and connections necessary to stay competitive in an evolving market.
