Join the only industry event where regulators, equipment manufacturers, service providers, users and other stakeholders in the parasailing industry will gather to discuss the future of parasailing operations. Be a part of the discussions that will determine if and how standards play a role for regulatory compliance, and safe design and operation, for parasailing.

This day-long event will include discussion forums lead by the US Coast Guard, the US Federal Aviation Administration, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Each will review the need for standardization and the objectives it can achieve in helping to provide safer parasailing operations. It will include an education on standardization frameworks, and open discussion on potential standards topics – from materials to best practices. It will be capped by working group sessions (if needed) that will investigate the initial content of high-priority, agreed-upon standards. YOUR INPUT is needed and valuable.
