METSTRADE Connect:
Virtual networking at its finest
METSTRADE Connect is an entirely new virtual platform built to connect the leisure marine industry. Meet new people and network with professionals who are most relevant to you. Our intelligent matchmaking algorithm will suggest new interesting contacts and our list of participants will be open for everyone who has registered. This makes METSTRADE Connect a great opportunity to meet new people. An invitation, a virtual handshake and a 1 on 1 video meeting are just a few mouse clicks away.
The METSTRADE Connect Platform is still accessible until 31 December 2020 to network by making connections
and chatting with other Leisure Marine professionals.
