A Milestone for the Global Marina Industry
ICOMIA and Sinoexpo Informa Markets are pleased to announce that Elite Dynamics has come on board as an official sponsor of the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference 2027 (IWMC2027). Marking a milestone for the global marina industry, IWMC2027 will take place in Shanghai, China, from 30 March to 2 April 2027 — the very first time the long-running conference, launched back in 1993, is hosted in Mainland China.
A Deliberate Policy Tailwind
The timing reflects a deliberate policy tailwind. China’s State Council issued a national work plan in January 2026 to expand leisure yacht consumption, building on a 2022 push to accelerate the development of cruise and yacht usage and marina infrastructure upgrading.
IWMC2027 – Providing a Critical International Platform
Against that backdrop, IWMC2027 provides a critical international platform connecting global marina operators, investors, port authorities, project developers, operators and suppliers with the fast-expanding Asia-Pacific market — and Elite Dynamics’ early commitment gives the wider sponsor community a clear signal that the region is ready for serious international participation.
Connecting Everyday Operations With Commercial Performance
As a global provider of marina management software, Elite Dynamics helps marina operators connect everyday operations with commercial performance. Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, the company’s EliteMarinas platform brings berth / slip management, dry stack, boatyard services, finance and customer management together in one system, giving operators greater visibility of operational activity, customer demand and financial performance so they can identify revenue opportunities, protect margins and make better commercial decisions.
Joe Lynch, CEO, ICOMIA, Comments
“We are delighted to welcome Elite Dynamics as a sponsor of IWMC2027. Technology and digital innovation are becoming increasingly important to the successful operation and development of modern marinas, and Elite Dynamics brings valuable expertise in this area. Their support reflects exactly what IWMC2027 is about: bringing together marina leaders, technology providers and industry specialists from around the world to share knowledge, build new partnerships and help shape the future of our sector.”
Jamaine Campbell, CEO of Elite Dynamics, Comments
“IWMC brings together people who share a common ambition for the future of the marina industry. There’s a huge opportunity for operators around the world to learn from one another, build stronger connections and explore new ways to grow. We’re looking forward to being part of those conversations in Shanghai and sharing how technology can help turn that ambition into real commercial opportunities,” said Jamaine Campbell, CEO of Elite Dynamics.
Calibre of IWMC2027 Technology Partners
Elite Dynamics’ decision to back IWMC2027 reflects the calibre of technology partners the conference is designed to convene — and the organisers expect it to be the first of a wider roster of international marina, brokerage, boat builder and marine infrastructure names to confirm participation in the months ahead.
Connecting Globally to Develop Marinas that Enhance Waterfront Communities and Drive Economic Growth
Under the conference theme “Connecting Globally to Develop Marinas that Enhance Waterfront Communities and Drive Economic Growth”, the three-day IWMC2027 will gather senior decision-makers from countries worldwide. As an official sponsor, Elite Dynamics will take part in events of IWMC2027, demonstrating how EliteMarinas helps marina operators connect their businesses, customers and commercial performance — whether managing a single marina or an international group operating across multiple markets. Delegates will get direct face-to-face access to Elite Dynamics’ team to explore how
connected operational, customer and financial data can uncover new revenue opportunities, improve commercial performance and build more scalable, valuable businesses.
On the Ground
The full IWMC2027 programme includes dedicated networking receptions, the official Gala Dinner, and the Waterfront Site Tour / Expo Day, designed to support delegates in sourcing partners and evaluating supply-chain opportunities within China and broader Asia-Pacific markets. Attendees can also access programme topics covering marina operations, waterfront master-planning, capital-project delivery, innovation and sustainability performance, delivered through case-study presentations, technical briefings and focused sessions.
