Conferences, meetings, summits as well as networking events are becoming commonplace in the superyacht calendar and this has led the Superyacht Events team and The Superyacht Group to push new boundaries and provide a platform that really will offer unparalleled value and quality output.

Las Vegas has been chosen as host city for the American Superyacht Forum 2013, as it delivers a rare opportunity to look at the industry from a fresh and unique perspective. Miles away from the coast, the sea and yachts, but synonymous with money and risk, Vegas is a US hub that the whole industry can easily fly into. On reflection, everyone who builds or buys a superyacht takes a massive risk and invests a huge amount of money in the process and these themes will resonate throughout the event and become the focus of the debate.

Las Vegas is a unique multi-millionaire’s playground for people across the globe and the organisers of the event are hoping that some of the energy and excitement will infect the industry as they develop a stronger market place for a long-term success.

The event is set to bring together industry leaders as VIP guests from the major shipyards, as well as inviting senior influencers, advisors and captains to play a key role in the conversations ensuring that everyone who attends has a clear objective of changing the way one does things and making the industry more stable.

With a diminishing order book in the USA and the appetite for conspicuous consumption reducing, 2013 is a critical year for bringing together a gathering of business leaders and industry figureheads to openly discuss how a better future can be mapped out.

The event’s programme, its social schedule and its workshop debate format will guarantee that smaller groups of delegates will explore problems, issues and ideas that really will make a difference.
