The 2018 METSTRADE Show opening ceremony – ‘Breakfast Briefing’ – will be held on 13 November and will include a keynote address by Hervé Gastinel, chief executive officer of Groupe Beneteau.

His speech, in which he will share his thoughts and experiences about innovation, will open METSTRADE 2018.

The Breakfast Briefing is held annually on the first day of the METSTRADE Show and attracts hundreds of global representatives from a wide range of companies within the industry. The Breakfast Briefing will also feature the award ceremony for the DAME - Design Award. The session is hosted by the International Council of Marine Industry Association (ICOMIA), the international trade association representing the global marine industry.

After joining the Groupe Beneteau in 2015, Gastinel has been at the helm as boating markets started their recovery, strongly driven by the innovation brought by new product development. Gastinel will provide insights into the challenges that the leisure marine sector is facing and explore new approaches towards sustainability, innovation and evolving consumer trends. After the Breakfast Briefing, Gastinel will also give an interview on the I-nnovationLAB Stage and meet with young professionals from the METSTRADE Young Professionals Club.
