The Yacht Racing Forum 2025 will place a strong focus on event management, sailing events, and venues. It will offer yacht clubs and sailing destinations a unique opportunity to explore emerging trends, share best practice, expand their professional network and conduct business.

The Yacht Racing Forum invites events, yacht clubs, and sailing venues from around the world to take part in the 2025 edition of the event. Held in Amsterdam on November 20-21, the Forum coincides with the final day of Metstrade and continues the following day, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with both events.

For its fifteenth edition, the Forum will bring together some of the world's most dynamic classes and events. It will focus on event organisation and will showcase concrete examples of how host cities or venues can attract major sailing competitions.

The Forum will also provide presentations on media and marketing, sustainability and inclusivity; it will address youth sailing and discuss the sports' most important issues and opportunities.

Last year's Forum brought together 289 delegates from 28 nationalities and provided a platform to unveil innovations, address the sport's biggest challenges and shape the future of yacht racing. The event generated numerous business opportunities among participants.

Founded in 2008, the Yacht Racing Forum reassembles the sports' leading personalities from all over the world over two days of conferences, debates and business, not to mention an attractive social calendar.
