The Programme
The Balearic Superyacht Forum comprises an extensive programme that encompasses diverse sessions and panels addressing key aspects of superyacht operations. Across this high-profile event, prominent speakers, pivotal figures in the industry, will participate in insightful debates, sharing perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
The Forum revolves around two main themes: the Balearic Islands and Superyachts, each lending its name to a day of the event.
Day 1: The Balearic Islands Day
On the 24th of April, The Balearics Day will mark the grand opening of the Balearic Superyacht Forum.
The event begins with a deep dive into the Balearic Nautical sector, featuring a keynote address illuminating its current state. Through insightful comparisons to the global landscape and input from local and international stakeholders, attendees will gain a comprehensive view to navigate competitive challenges posed by other destinations.
Keeping the Balearic Islands as central stage, a captivating keynote presentation titled “Understanding the Real Balearics: Four Incredible Islands” will analyse each island’s unique attributes, emphasizing their collective appeal as a comprehensive yacht destination.
After a refreshing break, the digital aspect takes the main stage in the forum with the Technical Workshop: “Exploring the Dual Edges: The Bright Future and Hidden Challenges of AI in yachting”, where the horizons of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity blend into a sea of opportunities and threats.
Networking is a must at this event, and attendees will participate in an interactive team-building activity, focused on the “Biomimicry process,” which aims to find disruptive solutions for global issues, drawing inspiration from processes and solutions found in nature.
The day is not finished as attendees will have the opportunity to share their thoughts about this exciting first day and relax while enjoying one of the most breathtaking views of the bay of Palma at restaurant Varadero, where a cocktail will be held to end this great first day.
Day 2: The Superyacht Day
The second day, the 25th of April will be held under the name The Superyacht Day.
The first topic to be addressed will be “The future of the Refit industry”. Sector leaders will assess the upcoming opportunities and future challenges that Palma must face to attract major refit projects, keep its position in the international refit environment, and save its ever-evolving industry.
The Sustainability and Environmental issues also find its place in the forum. “An industry roadmap to the SDGS”, will be analysed in this keynote, where the main Sustainable Development Goals will be discussed along with the different actions and commitments that the nautical sector is carrying out to achieve them.
The last speech of the day will be reserved for the new emerging companies, key in the development of a more competitive industry. In the “Blue startup pitching competition”, five meticulously chosen startups will present their projects and strategic plans to a panel of industry experts.
As The Balearic Superyacht Forum ends, the Palma International Boat show kicks off.
All the Forum Attendees will enjoy a VIP experience at the boat Show, so despite the end of the forum, the Balearic experience will go on for three days more.
