The PYA's CEO will be addressing this year’s Superyacht Technology Show at the World Trade Center in Barcelona from 20-21 March.
The show will unveil a wide range of superyacht technologies, including AV, communications, connectivity, engineering, and more. The well-respected TECHtalks will return on both days, featuring presentations in the main auditorium and a dedicated stage for product or company presentations in the Discovery Lab.
As the first event dedicated solely to superyacht technology, the Superyacht Technology Show brings together inspiring global speakers, technology thought leaders, and industry experts. Attendees can expect immersive hands-on demonstrations and workshops designed to foster learning, collaboration, and inspiration.
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for yacht crew, PYA will hold a number of discussions on the sidelines of the event to forge further synergies between key industry companies. Christophe Bourillon, CEO for the PYA, will also address one of the plenary sessions, highlighting the impact of technology in yachting and how it can be used to solve many of the challenges the industry is currently facing.
This year’s 3rd edition of the Superyacht Technology Show will welcome experienced crew from a variety of fields. AVIT officers, engineers, technical yacht crew, captains, designers, integrators, shipyard representatives and manufacturers are set to descend on Barcelona for the 2-day conference.
Full access is granted to all attendees that participate in the show, allowing them to join debates in the main auditorium including the TECHtalks. Delegates can enjoy the social aspects of the event, including the pre-event networking cocktail reception, daily networking lunch, and gala dinner. This combination of informative sessions and social gatherings positions the Superyacht Technology Show as one of the key networking events in the industry calendar.
