ABYC Seeks Proposals for Marine Law Symposium

The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) has opened a Call for Proposals for its fifth Marine Law Symposium, “Product, Professional, and Personal Liability,” scheduled for January 11, 2022, in Charleston, South Carolina.

This biennial one-day event, held during ABYC’s annual Standards Week (January 12 to 14, 2022), prepares participants to navigate the legal aspects of recreational boating accidents. The event rotates every other year with Sur/Tech, which returns in 2023. Participants receive 8 CEUs.

ABYC is looking for professionals to join the symposium in such matters as:

• Design, manufacture, and construction of recreational craft
• Repair and installation
• Surveyors, consultants, and professional services
• Case experts and attorneys for both sides
• Insurance experts
• Cases utilizing detailed photo and video evidence presentation
• Use of ABYC standards to prove (or disprove) case elements
