All eyes are on Australia this week as the 2017 ASMEX conference and Sanctuary Cove boat show get under way.

With the 2017 Australian Superyacht and Marine Export (ASMEX) conference opening today, followed by the 29th Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS), Australia is taking centre stage in the global yacht market this week.

MaryAnne Edwards, CEO of industry bodies AIMEX and Superyacht Australia, will set the scene for the conference in her opening presentation today.
