Anacortes goes virtual
Compare boats, listen to expert speakers and browse for products and services, just like you would in-person, but in Zoom meeting rooms. It might be the first boat show of its kind.
The Zoom meetings will be moderated 3pm-7pm on June 25 and 11am-7pm on June 26. Have your questions ready. To take part, text questions to 206-913-7469 or email Peter@nmta.net.
