ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (2.11.26) – The CWR Wholesale Distribution 2026 Dealer Training and Expo took place at the Golden Nugget Atlantic City Hotel, Casino and Marina February 2nd through the 6th. The Team Nutz crew of 4 traveled from Pittsburg to the CWR event the 365 miles each way to check out a wide variety of products in addition to attending marine trainings where three members received National Marine Electronics Association certification.

The Team Nutz crew included Ed Nuttall, Ben Bjerke, Tom Mays and Scott Olbeter. During the CWR event attendees had the opportunity to earn their NMEA basic and NMEA 2000 certifications, network with manufacturers and attend manufacturer training sessions to learn more about the brands CWR offers.

“Ben, Tom and Scott all passed their advanced NMEA certifications which will provide more tools as we get ready for the 2026 marine season. Pittsburg is located where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. There are boating communities along the rivers and area lakes. We work with installations in our bays in addition to jobs along the river” Ed Nuttall relayed.

Concluding “We also attended trainings with JLAudio, KVH and others. It was super to see the new JL Audio amps and feel the excitement for the 2026 marine season at the CWR Training and Expo. We look forward to this year’s marine season and the 2027 CWR Expo.”
