'The speakers this year are from all segments - manufacturing, tourism, superyachts, business development, media, government and trade - and represent some of the world's most influential professionals in their fields,' says MaryAnne Edwards, CEO at AIMEX/Superyacht Australia.

As well as presentations on topics as varied as Focus on Marine, an update of the Australian government’s view of the
marine sector' by the Hon. Bob Baldwin MP; Australian & global economic overview and outlook with a focus
on Asia from Andrew Booth Director, Asia Pacific Desk ANZ; The importance of Tourism Australia activities for the Australian marine and superyacht industry, presented by Katherine Droga, General Manager, Destination Development Tourism Australia; A strategic plan for Asia, Australia and the Pacific Region, plus some insight into the lessons learned from the Mediterranean & the Caribbean from Martin Redmayne of The Superyacht Report, there will be plenty of time for networking.

The morning tea and lunch periods have been extended to optimise the networking experience. Delegates can also register for 'business matching' with individuals or companies they would like to be introduced to.

Accommodation for delegates is still available at the InterContinental Sanctuary Cove at the special rate of $195 per night including GST, 18 to 21 May, 22 to 25 May is $350, including GST.
