  • Adrienne Cahalan, maritime lawyer and former pro sailor

    Fantastic event in a great location, excellent for networking.

    It is very rare that people from different sides of the industry meet, because our environment is super competitive, if not secretive. This conference is also unique because it is the only one that reassembles both sides of the sport: the design & technology and the business and marketing, and it’s really good to get a broad overview of what is going on.

  • Alain Gautier, Vendée Globe 1992-93 winner

    In France, we have a tendency to remain within French people… The Forum is a great opportunity for us to reach out to an international audience.
