The 17th annual Global Superyacht Forum (GSF), the unrivalled business forum for the world superyacht market, will see new changes, organisers Superyacht Events have announced.
The new changes for the three-day conference were revealed today in a striking new downloadable brochure. The changes will inject fresh energy and focus into this annual event, which runs from 14 to 16 November 2011 at Amsterdam RAI convention centre.
New brochure reveals changes for Global Superyacht Forum 2011
Three types of session have been introduced: bite-sized technology sessions, panel debates on core topics and an audience with style series of one on one interviews with owners, industry luminaries and controversial figures. Probing questions will be posed before an audience, stimulating lively and honest debate.
An industry white paper, another new addition to GSF, is proposed to follow the forum with key points the market should consider for change. Speakers for the debate, which will include the industry most candid and powerful luminaries, will be announced over the coming months as well as the venue for the Global Superyacht Forum Dinner, the opportunity to network and socialize with key industry players.
The main focus for GSF 2011 will be business, ownership and technology. Vital questions will be asked on how to improve business, how to entice and retain new and existing owners and what new technology can improve the industry.
GSF takes place at RAI alongside the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS). This gives delegates access to a thriving superyacht equipment trade show as well as the 1,000 plus marine trade exhibitors. The SuperYacht Pavilion at METS, is dedicated solely to superyacht businesses.
Georgina Lucey, Events Manager at Superyacht Events said:
“We wanted to make GSF bigger and better this year which is reflected in our new look brochure and the new format for the event. We also have some exciting new plans in the pipeline, which will be announced over the coming months. Taking place towards the end of the year, GSF remains the conference to attend to prepare for the growth and stabilisation of the industry in the following year.”
