This years forum will examine the cutting-edge impact of artificial intelligence on shipyards and designers, with a special focus on insights from outside the yachting industry. These examples will inspire and highlight AI’s potential to transform superyacht design and engineering.
A superyacht propulsion R&D deep dive will explore the range of non-fossil fuel options available and how they meet diverse requirements. Particular attention will be paid to dual-fuel solutions, which promise to align environmental sustainability with operational requirements.
We’ll also explore how strategic mergers and acquisitions can drive growth, foster innovation, and create a more integrated and resilient superyacht market.
A keynote on the first day will address the superyacht sector’s public perception of its image and how that can be managed. Delegates will also witness the launch of the Yacht Owner Representative Platform (YORP), a new network of registered representatives and hear how members work in the decision-making process for new builds and refits.
The quest to engage, inspire, and retain talent is pivotal. The Superyacht Alliance will explain how it is driving professional approaches towards growing and retaining talent within the sector.
A large proportion of the 2024 agenda will examine and discuss sustainable practices, headlined by a keynote exploring a 2050 superyacht industry roadmap.
Workshops and breakouts will look at biofouling management, whether there is a need for a superyacht industry regulatory policy on greenhouse gas emission reduction. The International University of Monaco will offer insights into the influence of sustainability on the decisions of younger generations, while the Water Revolution Foundation will provide updates on its Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI).
