ISS Announces YachtInfo FLIBS Schedule and Overview

Two Half-Day Sessions to Meet the Needs of Busy Constituents

 

The International Superyacht Society (ISS) is pleased to announce its educational program, YachtInfo, will be held during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show on two consecutive days in order to meet the needs of a busy professional constituency. FLIBS YachtInfo is the first of this season’s global series which now include the Antibes Yacht Show and the Singapore Yacht Show. YachtInfo is a long running collaborative project involving ISS, leading superyacht brands and associations and is designed to unearth and share knowledge from within our own industry on current topics of interest.

 

Friday, October 31, 2014 from 14:00 – 18:00 State Room D in the Bahia Mar

Chaired by Dieter Jaenicke (Viking Recruitment) and Roger Horner (E3 Systems) with Additional Panelists

 

Business Outlook: Are we managing to build, maintain or reach our capacity—as a network of shipyards for both new build and repair, we have a finite number of build and repair slots. As the fleet grows, are we investing to support the bigger fleet, or are many shipyards in survival mode, downsizing, collapsing, diversifying and, therefore, will we see a shrinking of capacity, especially in the USA?

 

World's Got Talent Part II: Taking it to the streets following from the Panel Presentation at the ISS Members’ Breakfast earlier in the week, this session will explore what outreach activities have worked in different parts of the world, and how we may assemble a toolkit that will enable this industry to engage with educators to find our workforce for the future.

 

Flat Panel Satellite Arrays: Great for designers, but what is the operational impact?

 

Saturday, November 1, 2014 from 10:00 – 14:00 State Room D in the Bahia Mar

Chaired by Ed Roberts (Hodgdon Yachts) and Ian Bone (Yacht Captains Association) with Additional Panelists

 

2-Step Career PathWorking on a Superyacht and then Working Ashore: How easy is it to make the transition from Department Head or Captain of a vessel to working within the many companies ashore that support the global superyacht fleet?  How should we continue to develop the necessary skills to develop as professionals?

 

Tenders and On-Board Operations: With 10 deaths on superyachts this year and several serious injuries, what's going wrong? Where does good design interface with the regulations which are meant to increase safety for crew and guests?
