ASMEX 2019 PROGRAM SESSIONS

As the flagship conference in Australia for the marine industry, ASMEX 2019 continues to build on its solid reputation for delivering quality and current industry information and invaluable networking opportunities since its inception in 2010. The theme for ASMEX 2019 is ‘Driving innovation and sustainability’ the program will include a focus on environmental and sustainability initiatives driven by the marine industry and latest innovations in this area.

TAKING STOCK OF ASIA’S YACHTING POTENTIAL:  The growth in Asia’s luxury yachting sector is being monitored closely by many in the industry but often from a distance.  At ASMEX 2019 you will hear panellists sharing their on-the-ground and up-to-date expert knowledge and views on the status of development of key and emerging cruising destinations, where the superyacht industry in Asia is making progress with charter regulations, the latest marina developments in the region and destination focused marine tourism programs. 

PACIFIC RIM COLLABORATION: How do the key superyacht markets in the Pacific region support each other through encouraging visiting vessels to not only remain in the Pacific for longer visiting numerous destinations, but also to have exceptional experiences and become advocates for the region ?  What more can marinas, boatyards and other service providers do to work more closely together to keep superyacht owners exploring more of the rich diversity the Pacific region has to offer and what are the ‘pinch points’ immediately outside the region effecting owners decisions to come?

AUSTRALIA’S PLACE IN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN: Vasco Buonpensiere will present his views on the global marketplace and Australia’s position within it including the opportunities for Australian manufacturers and service providers to supply companies like Cantiere del Marche and other Italian builders.

REGIONAL FOCUS TASMANIA: Real world challenges and innovative solutions for regional boatbuilders and shipyards in Tasmania with a focus on tourism, cruising grounds, superyacht visitation, boat and ferry building industry and refit capabilities.
