Meanwhile, the organizers will continue to host a series of professional forums, such as the "China International High-Performance Boat Academic Conference," "China International Boat and Waterfront Leisure Industry Development Forum," and "Comprehensive Technical Exchange Forum on Boats." Industry elites from both China and abroad will deliver speeches and share insights, aiming to provide solutions for China’s sluggish boat market, drive transformation and innovation, foster cross-sector collaboration, and create diverse content and formats that cater to waterfront vacation tourism needs across various demographics. Additionally, a premium super-yacht exhibition and forum area will be established, inviting professionals in the super-yacht industry and associations from Europe and America to discuss the development and opportunities of super-yachts in the new context of China.
