Geneva, June 23, 2015 – The Yacht Racing Forum announces a two years partnership with Gurit, the leading global supplier of composite materials. “High performance yachting is a key innovation and activity area for Gurit to develop and deploy new materials which can make the difference. In this context, this forum is of great interest for us”, says Rudolf Hadorn, Gurit CEO. “Geneva is a fantastic venue for the Yacht Racing Forum, located at the heart of Europe and host to a very dynamic yacht racing scene. The new organizers of the Forum are determined to organize a great event and we support this effort. The international yacht racing community needs a Forum to showcase its products, to network and debate. We look forward to our participation.”
 

The Yacht Racing Forum 2015 will take place on December 7-8, at the prestigious Hotel Intercontinental. The annual conference and exhibition will deliver important ideas and concepts in three key areas that affect everyone in the yacht racing industry: the business, organizational and planning aspects of the sport; design & technology and, for the first time, the role Risk Management plays in the structure of the sport.

 

The 2015 Yacht Racing Forum will attract over 300 people in one place at one time to do business and meet future clients: yacht clubs, athletes, sponsors, event organizers, designers, technical suppliers and anyone involved or just interested in yacht racing.
