An Inspirational Night of Boat Design Concepts, powered by PechaKucha. Sponsored by the Sparks Group and Tides Marine. Managed and produced by the Sparks Group and IBEX. Media Sponsor: Professional BoatBuilder magazine Twelve designers will present their design concepts through 20 slides at 20 seconds each. We've produced these events in Louisville, Kentucky, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Tampa, Florida. It promises to be an engaging and inspirational night. Because there is no charge for this event, we do request that -- if you need to cancel after you have signed up -- please let us know right away. There is limited space at the CAMLS Center, and we want to accommodate as many people as possible. For those of you who wish to be considered as speakers, we request that you send us your design ideas, with a title and short description. You can forward these separately, to: carl1cramer@gmail.com. Unfortunately, we cannot pay our presenters. And this is not a forum for vendors to present their products. Last year's speakers and their presentations: 2018 Sparks!
