“Marina operations don’t slow down, and neither do the expectations placed on operators,” says Karen Barnes, CEO of DockMaster.
“What I hear most often is the need for clarity: clear data, clear processes, and tools that support smarter decisions instead of creating more work.”
The marine industry has reached a turning point. Growth, consolidation, and rising expectations are forcing operators to rethink how their businesses run day to day. Efficiency is no longer a back-office concern, it’s a competitive advantage. And the conversations happening right now will shape how marinas operate for years to come.
That’s why DockMaster is proud to attend the AMI 2026 Conference & Expo, taking place February 2–4, 2026, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. You can find our team at Booth #224, where we’ll be engaging with industry leaders on how smarter systems drive stronger operations.
Why AMI 2026 Is a Must-Attend Event
The AMI Conference & Expo remains one of the most influential gatherings for marina and boatyard professionals. It’s where operators come together to exchange insights, explore emerging trends, and evaluate solutions that support long-term growth. As the industry continues to modernize, AMI provides a valuable opportunity to step back, reassess, and plan strategically.
Addressing Today’s Operational Challenges
Across the industry, we consistently hear the same concerns: disconnected systems, time-consuming manual processes, and limited access to actionable data. These challenges don’t just slow teams down, they create friction for customers and make scaling the business more difficult.
DockMaster was built specifically to address these realities.
What to Expect at Booth #224
At AMI 2026, our team will be demonstrating how DockMaster helps marina operators centralize operations, streamline workflows, and gain real-time insight into their business. From billing and slip management to service tracking and customer records, our platform is designed to simplify complexity and support informed decision-making.
More importantly, our conversations go beyond software features. We focus on understanding your operation, your goals, and how technology can support sustainable growth, not just today, but well into the future.
DockMaster: A Long-Term Partner
For over 40 years, DockMaster has remained committed to the marine industry. We don’t just build software, we partner with operators to help them run more efficient, resilient, and customer-focused businesses.
