Amsterdam, 4 September 2024 – The global yacht racing community is set to converge in Amsterdam from November 20-22 for the highly anticipated Yacht Racing Forum / Design & Technology Symposium. Held in conjunction with METSTRADE, the conference and exhibition will bring together the sport’s leading personalities and industry professionals from around the world.

« For the first time, the Yacht Racing Forum will be held in Amsterdam alongside the world’s largest exhibition for the leisure marine industry », said the event organiser, Bernard Schopfer. « This strategic timing alongside METSTRADE will offer our attendees, partners and exhibitors the chance to explore synergies between yacht racing and the broader maritime industry. »
