Key Decision-Makers
We will bring together stakeholders from around the Pacific region, with key industry leaders, influencers and advisors from across the world congregating to map out the long-term future of one of the most exciting client cruising grounds in the market.
Shape a Region
Attendees will build a strategy that will establish the region as a viable alternative to the Atlantic milk run for owners, guests and charter clients from Sydney to Tokyo, and from Seattle to Singapore and everywhere in between, over the next decade. We will raise the profile of this ‘Pacific Network’ to the wider superyacht market, from the perspective of both existing stakeholders and potential investors.
Experience the potential
This unique event will be hosted in one of the most beautiful locations in the Pacific Northwest - Victoria, British Columbia - so global stakeholders and influencers can experience the incredible potential first-hand, establishing a new group of ‘Pacific Ambassadors’.
The Programme
Breakfast & Networking
The Chairman of The Superyacht Group will discuss the sessions and conversations of Day 2 and share his vision and expectations for the third day of interactive experiences.
Delegates, Speakers and Partners will be tasked to create unique workshop rooms using local bleached logs - working in teams, to explore and discuss a series of interesting subjects and topics related to ownership, operations, management, support and charter. The objective is to create or conceive real change and new thinking that applies to the way yachts will cruise or operate in the Pacific, in the future. By asking What If..? / Why Not…? / How..?
A representative from each of the Focus Groups will be asked to share their ideas during lunch, with the wider audience.
