Press release: One of the goals for METS 2005 is further improving the quality of the show and offering a balanced exhibition programme of exceptional quality. Not only through the exhibiting companies but also on a content level. METS 2005 will host the following conferences and seminars. 7th International Sailing Summit (ISS), hosted by Amsterdam RAI in conjunction with METS 14 november 2005 Venue: Room B Sir Robin Knox-Johnston is the patron for the 7th International Sailing Summit and Dinner, which takes place on Monday the 14th November. Hosted by RAI, the Summit brings together leaders from industry and sailing to share experiences and increase participation in sailing. Past speakers have included Madame Roux from Beneteau and Paul Henderson, ex ISAF President. Technology Forum 2005, organised and hosted by European Boatbuilder and METS 15 and 16 november 2005 Venue: Room B Following on from last years successful launch, European Boatbuilder magazine and METS will again be cooperating in the organisation of a Technology Forum for boat builders and designers to be held on the 15th and 16th November during the METS. The theme of the Forum will cover the latest techniques and engineering advances in production boat building, with particular reference to on-going developments in resin infusion technology, RTM and vacuum injection processes and the role of structural adhesives The Forum will also consider the latest thinking in lean manufacturing techniques now being adopted by some of the world's leading boat builders and to what extent forthcoming engine emissions regulations will impact the business. Project 2005, organised by The Yacht Report 15 November 2005 16 November 2005 17 November 2005 09.00 - 20.30 hrs 08.30 - 20.30 hrs 08.30 - 20.30 hrs Venue: Forum Lounge After ten years of the Project Seminars held in Amsterdam, through delegate feedback and own observations, the organisers have made some important changes to the programme and style of this important annual conference. The changes are specifically related to the programme and the way in which the meeting is conducted. The new sub-title to the event is “the global forum for the luxury yacht industry” and when you analyse the audience, this is exactly what it is. These forums will include design, construction, management, engineering, legal, sub-contracting, environmental and technology transfer; all will comprise an expert panel and will be allocated 90 minutes for a topic to be raised, discussed and debated between the panel and the audience. In summary, the three days of Project 2005 will influence those people who are actively involved in the development and growth of the large-yacht industry. These changes will ensure that Project 2005 will be “the global forum for the luxury yacht industry”, where business leaders will openly discuss the industry’s future.
