The third National Nautical Clubs Symposium will have the participation of over a hundred people who will discuss the current state of the clubs and their strategies to survive in the current port market without losing their status as non-profit social entities.

More than a hundred people will participate in the third edition of the National Nautical Clubs Symposium, which will take place on 6 and 7 October in Alicante. Under the slogan "Sustainable management and the new challenges of nautical clubs," the symposium, organized by the Spanish Confederation of Nautical Clubs Associations (CEACNA), will address with particular interest the precarious situation of clubs whose concession has ended, or is about to end, and do not have guarantees of continuity in their renewal processes, which compromises their social role and the promotion of nautical sports.

Víctor Montero, organizer of the symposium, has assured that it is necessary "to know what legal tools exist for the better development of the clubs as well as to encourage the commitment to a modern and professional management model." The president of State Ports, José Llorca, will offer the inaugural conference and the symposium will be closed by José Ramón Lete, president of the High Council of Sports. "The attendees will be able to know first hand what the position of public institutions is in all the problems that concern the nautical clubs," said Montero.

The more than 100 participants in the convention, which will take place in the new Auditorium of the City of Alicante, will participate in two days in which, according to Montero, "different views will be collected that will help to understand, on a global level, the role and functioning of the clubs." During the symposium, reference rapporteurs will have the floor on the most relevant and topical issues in the field of management, legal trends, communication strategy, sports sponsorship and technological innovation.

The meeting will feature the collaboration of the Generalitat Valenciana, Municipality of Alicante, Ports the State, General Directorate of the Merchant Navy, Superior Council of Sports, Council of Alicante, Harbour Authority of Alicante, Real Club of Regatas de Alicantes, Association of Nautical Clubs of the Province of Alicante, Equiport, ANEN, RFEV and the technical collaboration of Sailti and Pandora.
