This year’s theme, “Navigating Today’s Global Market,” explores how marine industry leaders are guiding their organizations through a time of rapid change. From technological disruption and evolving consumer expectations to global volatility and new approaches to business, the discussion will shine a light on how innovation and resilience are shaping the next chapter of the industry.
The conversation will be moderated by Michele Goldsmith, Vice President, and General Manager of the Soundings Trade Only Group. An industry leader and longtime advocate for inclusion and innovation, Goldsmith brings an informed and global perspective to the discussion.
The event offers attendees a unique opportunity to gain fresh insight, exchange ideas, and connect with peers across the marine industry, all within a welcoming, collaborative environment. Open to everyone, regardless of gender, the breakfast continues to draw standing-room-only crowds each year, and early registration is encouraged. Please RSVP to mets@britishmarine.co.uk.
For those attending Metstrade, this annual breakfast has become much more than a networking event, it’s a moment of connection, inspiration, and purpose. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from the women leading change across the marine sector and to be part of a global community shaping the future of boating.
