M A R T I N R E D M A Y N E

For more than 30 years I have attended, chaired, spoken at and sponsored myriad events across the market, from Newcastle to Newport, from Abu Dhabi to Auckland, from Singapore to Seattle, and anywhere in between. Since we created our first ever conference back in 1993, called Project 93, we have seen a plethora of companies enter the market and create similar models, with a much duplicated list of topics and speakers.

I have decided to step to one side like the nimble rugby player I once was,

swiftly run ahead of the other players and create a brand new platform that will provide the most valuable network of industry influencers, advisers and decision makers with the perfect meeting place.

Imagine if we create a platform where every sig- nificant new build and refit yard, every leading designer, naval architect, broker, manager and lawyer is present. Consider the opportunities if we deliver a gathering of captains, engineers, owners’ repre-sentatives, family offices

and a few of the hands-on owners all in one place, with the mission of discussing new projects and ideas for the future. Then add into the mix the subcontractors, the technical brains, the engineering innovators, the energy experts, the leading class and flag surveyors and, of course, the consultants and future thinkers from other industries. In my opinion, this would provide the market with the most powerful and unique place to do real business, without the distraction of yachts, crowds and exhibition stands.

I N T R O D U C T I O NThe vision for The Super-

yacht Forum is to create a central platform for all key sectors of the industry to come together and build a stronger market, deliver smarter products and present a better proposition for the future.

I am excited and confi-dent that with the invest-ment and strategy behind this new meeting place, we will create an event that will be “Worth Attending” by everyone that matters.

I look forward to welcom-ing you in November, to The Superyacht Forum in Amsterdam.

It is clear from our research and analysis of the market that we are faced with a congested calendar. Nowadays, there are too many media channels, informa-tion sources, boat shows, events and parties; if someone wanted to, they could read a different superyacht-related magazine, book, blog or website, while attending a different boat show, forum, summit, symposium or conference every day of the year.

This has driven our Group to oper-ate with the strategic mantra of “Less is More” and we are confident that our industry will appreciate and respect this decision. The amalgamation of our print and digital channels into a core focused group of brands, The Superyacht Report and The Crew Report, supported by SuperyachtNews.com, will ensure that our audience is reading the most valuable journalism and reporting in the sector.

The same strategy is being applied to our events portfolio in order to create a more valuable platform for all sectors of the industry to meet, engage, learn, exchange ideas and create valuable business opportunities. Therefore, this November, we will deliver a powerful meeting of the industry that combines our current events portfolio: SuperyachtDESIGN Week,

Superyacht Management Meetings, The Superyacht Owner’s Summit, Make Your Mark and, of course, the Global Superyacht Forum. This event will follow the same brand strategy as our new portfolio and will be labelled The Superyacht Forum.

We are confident that by bringing together the design community, the strategic thinkers, the financial, tax and business community, and the owners’ advisory network and family offices, and introducing this unique mix of experts to the existing community of the Global Superyacht Forum, we will create the most valuable and powerful meeting place for the industry.

Many future thinking or mature industries have annual meetings of key players, who all come together for policy discussions, ideas exchanges, innovation think-tanks and, essen-tially, to explore the future of the market. It is our mission to grow on the success of our events portfolio and create a central annual meeting place for everyone involved in the design, build, operation, innovation, purchase, management and ownership of superyachts. This annual meeting place will be our new and enhanced event: The Superyacht Forum.

THE SUPERYACHT GROUPAs we enter our 25th year in the industry, we feel it is important to highlight that we are one of the few remaining privately owned media, information and event businesses in the market. We are exclusively focused on everything to do with large luxury yachts over 30m (100ft) in length, or superyachts as they have become known, ranging from technical information, market analysis and intelligence, recruitment and reporting, business strategy and forecasting, and of course, bringing our powerful network of contacts together through events.

Our portfolio comprises The Superyacht Report, the most respected magazine in the sector; SuperyachtNews.com, a dynamic portal for real news and opinion; SuperyachtIntelligence.com, an unrivalled information, data and analysis portal and strategic consultancy; The Crew Report, the most professional media channel for the most professional crew; and Superyacht Events, a unique department that brings together all sectors of the industry for meetings, brainstorms and networking. This dynamic mix delivers the information, intelligence, insight and interaction that drives the market forward and provides business and decision-critical support.

The symbiotic relationship of The Superyacht Report, SuperyachtIntelligence.com and Superyacht Events results in a collaborative approach to superyacht reporting. From hosting powerful debates at

our events each year, to producing valuable analytical data reports, the Group has its finger firmly on the pulse of the market.

The cohesive nature of The Superyacht Group means that no knowledge is wasted; a divisive opinion piece on SuperyachtNews.com will drive the next workshop session at an event; an exciting data trend will influence an editorial feature within the next magazine issue. The superyacht-focused team behind the entire portfolio is permanently sharing knowledge to contribute to the collective conscious of the industry. This multi-channel approach encompasses hard-hitting facts, instant news reporting, curated opinion pieces, in-depth analysis and a dedicated platform to share expertise from all sectors of the superyacht industry.

At the heart of what drives our company’s value is the desire for the superyacht market to continue to grow, but also a strong commitment to being receptive to ideas and insights from those within the industry.

With a team of 40, including dedicated journalists, editors, account managers, analysts, marketeers, support staff, researchers and passionate minds who all “love superyachts” we are focused on delivering the most respected, most valuable and most trusted products in the business. We may not be the biggest in the market, but we are focused on being the best.

OUR BUSINESS IS BUILT AROUND THE CORE VALUES OF EXCELLENT CUSTOMER

SERVICE, HIGH QUALITY JOURNALISM AND INTELLIGENCE AND A PASSION FOR

WHAT WE DO. OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, WE HAVE EVOLVED AND GROWN WITH

THE MARKET, IN ORDER TO SERVE IT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY.

The future of the superyacht industry relies on growth and innovation to ensure that we are constantly producing the best possible product. Through analysis, we can identify current trends and forecast future ones in order to indicate the healthy development of the market.

Our team at SuperyachtIntelligence.com and the team of journalists and editors within The Superyacht Group have a very clear perspective on what is happening in the market today, making them capable of forecasting and predicting change based on analytical models, trends and research based insight.

When we look closely at the past 25 years, it is easy to demonstrate how the market has grown and developed in terms of numbers of vessels, technical complexity, volume and value.

The following charts are designed to show where we have come from, the dynamic shifts in the business, the

evolution of the portfolio and the demands of the current customers. The market has expanded dramatically over the past decade and we are confident it will continue to grow, with a very manageable fleet delivery schedule, but it is also key to understand the market drivers, the future demands, the potential barriers and the real opportunities. More than 5,000 superyachts and a delivery programme of 140+ yachts per annum will create a market that requires all of the sectors and players to be strategic, collaborative and innovative in order to grow and build a stronger future.

With a market made up of 5,000+ yachts, 250 shipyards, 120 design studios, 1,000

individual brokers, 5,000 companies in the supply chain, another 1,500 service providers and 60,000+ operational crew all relying on the whims and fantasies of a couple of thousand multi-millionaires, we have to remain focused on stability and longevity.

While the geopolitical landscape is changing, the rich are getting richer but this does not equate to them all buying yachts in the future. By coming together in a network of strategic meetings at The Superyacht Forum, we can map out the most effective strategies, the smartest solutions and the best pro-ducts that will guarantee our industry’s long-term health.

THE RESEARCH AND INSIGHTFollowing the Global Superyacht Forum 2016, we carried out extensive market research to identify the demand for events and understand the requirements of our delegates. Speaking with up to 200 past delegates, the response was overwhelming: fewer events, increased networking and a more varied event programme would increase the efficiency and productivity of our industry.

A crucial factor in the decision to combine our conference portfolio is to de-clutter the existing events calendar. Not only does this reduce the time that delegates spend away from the office, but it is a cost effective way to bring together the key players in the industry. Fewer events means fewer travel costs and less spent on delegate passes.

A high majority of those surveyed agreed on the benefits of this, including attendees

of multiple events, and individuals wishing to extend their scope and get involved with all aspects of the industry, from design and marketing to business and finance.

As we have always maintained, networking is at the heart of any event, and we were reassured by the feedback of our delegates. Over 75 per cent of those surveyed asserted that they engaged with their target market; however, with the range of people that The Superyacht Forum will appeal to, we expect this figure to rise. One event, held in one place, at one time that caters to the entirety of the market, will result in a greater quality, volume and variety of the network.

Through speaking with our loyal delegates and listening to their advice and feedback, we are certain that The Superyacht Forum will be ‘An Event Worth Attending’ for everyone in the industry.

800 EVENT ATTENDANCE SHOWING NUMBER OF DELEGATES THAT ALSO ATTENDED GSF 2016

Non-GSF guests GSF guests

In 2016, we hosted 650 delegates at the Global Superyacht Forum. If we amalga-mate the audiences from the other events in 2016, there are another 500 delegates that attended these annual meetings and conferences, but did not attend the Global Superyacht Forum.

These events were hosted over 12 days in five different locations in five different months, yet by analysing the various audiences we believe it makes sense for these market sectors to meet under one roof, in the same week.

By merging the energy, the programme and the audience of the Global Super-yacht Forum with SuperyachtDESIGN Week, the Superyacht Management Meetings,

THE AMALGAMATIONAND EVOLUTION

Make Your Mark and The Superyacht Owner’s Summit, we will bring together the right people at the right time, to provide better access to information exchanges and higher quality networking opportunities for all industry sectors.

Delegates will be exposed to new contacts and create dynamic connections with decision-makers across the complete spectrum of the market: business, tax, technology, insurance, design, manu-facturing, construction, management, law and repair. All these elements affect and influence the ultimate customer: the superyacht owner. If each of the market’s disciplines have better access to information and individual experts, then we all become smarter and more joined up.

The Superyacht Forum 2 0 1 7 9

By condensing our diverse print and digital portfolio into two central channels, The Superyacht Report and SuperyachtNews.com, and now creating the third channel in The Superyacht Forum, our aim is to operate under one structured information architecture across print, digital and events.

There are essentially seven information channels for the three core products, focusing on Business, Fleet, Technology, Operations, Owner, Buyer and Design. This means that, when anyone is navigating our portfolio, they can engage with the information they require. Clear labelling of content allows our physical and virtual audiences to know exactly what is relevant to them when they need it.

The new event structure is designed to cater for everyone in the industry by expanding the scope of

subjects covered and allowing for a more customised event experience. In doing so, The Superyacht Forum will provide four days of concentrated learning, networking

and dynamic discussions to suit all interests.

The New Concept

Therefore, a reader of The Superyacht Report, a visitor to SuperyachtNews.com and a delegate at The Superyacht Forum will be able to attend, read or connect with those topics that fit their profile. Engineers can read about technology, but at the same time if they would like to explore the topics of design or business, there is a section or session that will provide insight and interaction with that part of the market.

The new concept for The Superyacht Forum will allow anyone in the industry, be they captain, engineer, designer, broker, manager or supplier, to attend the event and customise their schedule depending on their interests, needs, budget and time.

THE MISSION & THE OBJECTIVES

Ultimately, we want to create a platform for all key sectors of the industry to come together for a series of meetings, networking opportunities, education and inspiration, in one place, every year; a form of industry Annual General Meeting, with strategic energy and smart ideas.

Conferences are designed to benefit the market, and should be positive experiences from which everyone can improve their understanding of business. However, nowadays the industry is saturated with events. In condensing our events portfolio, we intend to provide a ‘must attend’ opportunity, based on the network, the speakers, the dynamics, the programme and the benefits.

The Superyacht Forum will become the superyacht industry’s most powerful meeting in the calendar, with the most valuable network of expertise and contacts. As we have always maintained, you will meet people you know, people you don’t know but, most importantly, the people you need to know.

T H E P R O G R A M M EReflecting the newly

relaunched Superyacht Report, The Superyacht

Forum will have distinctive themes that will run over

the course of the event: Business, Fleet, Buyer,

Owner, Operations, Technology and Design.

In order to keep our delegates interested, educated and invigorated, we have a variety of formats that ensure each session remains intellectually stimulating for everyone in attendance.

The programme is a balance of hard-hitting, industry-focused topics for the superyacht market, combined with out-of-industry thinking and innovative presentations designed to push our industry forward. Each session is different, formatted to drive engagement, inspire conversation and educate attendees on the most relevant discussions for the world of superyachts.

This is an example of how the programme stream will work in practice. Specialised sessions will take place throughout the day simultaneously to offer a broad variety of subjects for the attendees.

The ‘streams’ of the programme will be differentiated by colour.

Where multiple sessions are shown, delegates will be able to choose the sessions and subject most relevant to their field and profession.

Visit www.superyachtnews.com/thesuperyachtforum for the most up-to-date programme.

Our Superyacht Events team is renowned for delivering social events that are fresh, informal, dynamic and fun, and our plans for The Superyacht Forum will not disappoint. Private dinners, breakfasts, lunches and VIP parties will form the social backbone of the programme, but we would like to reassure you that there will be no black ties and no awards ceremonies, just good wine, good food and good contacts. As you register for The Superyacht Forum, you will be notified of invitations and opportunities to sign up for additional extra-curricular social activities, something that Amsterdam is renowned for too.

The Superyacht Forum is structured around networking and maximising the opportunity to meet the people that you need to meet in order to develop your ideas and your business.

During our research into the evolution of The Superyacht Forum, there was an

overwhelming response from our delegate sectors that the most valuable aspect of our events is the way we create powerful networking opportunities and connect our VIPs with the supply chain. This is through structured meetings, face to face networking, social interaction, private focus groups and venue mapping.ORGANISED BY

By creating a major meeting place under the new brand, The Superyacht Forum, and locating all the events under one roof in Amsterdam, we are able to create enhanced experiences both on and off site.

Hosting the event in the RAI at the same time as the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METSTRADE), the largest marine technology and equipment event, allows all delegates full access to their network of products and exhibitors.

In addition to this, we are exploring a further dimension to the new event. It is widely

recognised that The Nether-lands is the home of super-yacht excellence, and many of the major yards, subcon- tractors, technology partners and equipment manufacturers are all within an hour of the city. As a result, we are looking to introduce a more formal, but optional, programme allowing VIPs and S3 delegates to participate in structured shipyard visits and specialist technology tours.

If you would like your shipyard or factory to be considered for this programme, please contact events@thesuperyachtgroup.com
