Wet Sounds Wins 2026 UMMA Innovation Excellence Award

Wet Sounds is proud to announce that we have been honored with the 2026 UMMA Innovation Excellence Award, recognizing our continued commitment to innovation, creativity, and forward-thinking solutions that push the marine industry forward.

Presented at the 2026 UMMA Conference, this award highlights companies that are not only advancing technology, but also elevating the overall experience for builders, partners, and end users alike. For Wet Sounds, it’s a reflection of our mission to deliver high-performance audio designed for the most demanding environments—on the water and beyond.

Recognizing Innovation That Moves the Industry Forward

The Innovation Excellence Award is given to organizations that demonstrate a strong drive for progress and a willingness to challenge the status quo. At Wet Sounds, innovation isn’t just a goal—it’s part of everything we do. From product development to real-world performance, we are constantly focused on creating solutions that meet the evolving needs of marine builders and enthusiasts.

This recognition reinforces our commitment to:

• Engineering products that perform in harsh marine environments
• Delivering consistent, high-output sound at speed
• Supporting builders with reliable, scalable audio solutions

The Importance of the UMMA Conference

Hosted by the United Marine Manufacturers Association, the annual UMMA Conference is one of the most important events in the marine industry.

UMMA’s mission is to empower independent boat builders by providing resources, insights, and collective advantages that help improve operational efficiency and level the purchasing playing field. As a semi-cooperative organization, UMMA enables builders to achieve more together than they could individually.

The UMMA “Partnership” Conference brings together:

• Boat builders and purchasing teams
• Key suppliers and industry partners
• Marine industry leaders and global business experts

Through seminars, trade show exhibits, and structured networking opportunities, the conference serves as a platform for collaboration, idea sharing, and planning for future growth across the industry.

Building Stronger Partnerships

One of the most valuable aspects of the UMMA Conference is the opportunity for face-to-face connection. In an industry built on relationships, nothing replaces the ability to meet in person, share insights, and strengthen partnerships.

At Wet Sounds, we value these interactions as they allow us to better understand the needs of our partners and continue delivering products that support their success.

Looking Ahead

Winning the 2026 UMMA Innovation Excellence Award is an honor, but it’s also motivation. We remain focused on continuing to innovate, evolve, and deliver audio solutions that set the standard for performance and durability in marine environments.

We would like to thank UMMA for this recognition and extend our appreciation to our partners, builders, and customers who continue to trust Wet Sounds.

Together, we will keep pushing the industry forward.
