The Superyacht Forum

Date: 16 November 2026 – 17 November 2026

Location: RAI Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Superyacht Forum is the main annual conference for the superyacht industry, held at RAI Amsterdam on 16 and 17 November 2026, directly ahead of the Metstrade trade show in the same building. The overlap is the point: delegates do the thinking at the forum, then walk the Metstrade halls to see the hardware. The 2026 programme runs under the theme 'Accelerate the Evolution' and covers sustainability, innovation, infrastructure, regulation, talent and operational excellence. The audience is senior and professional: builders, designers, brokers, captains and suppliers rather than boat buyers. Sessions mix keynotes with debate-style formats, and a good share of the value happens in the corridor conversations between them. Registration is shared with Metstrade, with free passes available until 1 November. If Monaco in September is where the industry shows its boats, Amsterdam in November is where it argues about where the whole business is heading next.
