How people consume content and media has changed the marketing landscape and continues to evolve. Today’s consumers live online and, to reach them, your marketing efforts need to live there as well.

The [**Grow Boating Marketing Summit**](https://www.growboating.org/marketing-summit.aspx) Super Session returns to IBEX the day before the show opens to provide marketers in the marine industry opportunities to learn how to further leverage digital marketing channels—display ads, video, social media, email, search, websites and more—to move your business forward.

  *Recreational boating trends and statistics*
