This unique event is supported by major players in the marine industry including European Insurance & Services (EIS), Bavaria YachtBau and many others. Also essential for the success of the event is the support of local authorities such as the Croatian Chamber of Commerce.
The Summit offers a ‘unique opportunity to gain immediately spendable skills through engaging presentations and workshops to enhance understanding of existing and future trends through a wide range of topics. From sales to marketing spanning organization and finance, a curated selection of internationally renowned speakers will share their knowledge and answer any questions or observations. With over 30 speakers from around the world no topic relevant to the industry will be ignored.
Every participant who attends will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and defend their point of view during the Booking Manager Summit panels. In intervening in the discussions, there is no difference between global players, such as Sunsail or Istion who count boats in the hundreds, or a small company that has just been created, all voices will be heard. The discussions between operators and agencies aim to bring all categories involved closer together to create solutions that benefit everyone, make cooperation smoother, and generate added value for end customers. Globally established agencies such as Zizoo, Barbera Yachting and Tubber are always active in the discussion.
All visitors, those present at the Hilton Garden Inn Zagreb and those present virtually through the live streaming of all sessions, are invited to participate in the activities, except perhaps for the dancing evenings. At the conclusion of each fruitful day there will be an opportunity to relax and celebrate achievements, with an evening to remember.
