MTB Superyachts 2015 Algarve

2 days of active and concentrated meetings, open discussions rich of information with the contacts and a great way to concentrate key players in the sector from different regions all at one place.

Area Sales Manager EMEA - Spradling Group

A great way to schedule 20 meetings with prospective clients within two days, and to network in an open and constructive atmosphere.

Sales Manager - Reckmann Yacht Equipment

The forum was busy, fun and rewarding. It was a great opportunity to network with key members of the Superyacht Industry and to share some of our expertise. 

Director - Safeguard Engineering

A fantastic event where you speak super efficiently with many different parties from the yacht industry in a very short time.

Proposal Engineer - Moonen Yachts

An interesting event that involves the best companies in the superyacht world.

Project Manager - Ferretti

MTB is a wonderful event to really meet people from the yachting industry, as a big aspect of the business goes through relationship and confidence. 

Yacht Manager - G-Yachts

Perfectly organised, well arranged group of buyers and sellers, successful!

Facilities Manager - Royal Huisman

A great and very effective networking event. Well organised by Copland Events.

General Manager EMEA - Maxwell Marine

As far as buyers and suppliers coming together to achieve goals regarding the supply chain, I believe that MTB has the best format in which to do so. I have been to numerous trade shows, however these shows do not allow you to build these type of business relations.

Materials Manager - Rybovich Boat Co

An excellent conference with great opportunity for personal contact and networking.

Sales Manager - Medical Support Offshore (MSOS) Ltd

I have now attended three MTB events. I tell anyone who cares to listen that for me this is probably the best annual Superyacht event that I go to in terms of being able to speak on a one-to-one basis with specific suppliers about exactly what I want or need. Unlike the large shows, suppliers and buyers spend 15-20 mins with each of their chosen counterparts. In the downtime they can also meet others in the same field. Given that this basically all happens in 48 hrs there is no other event like it.

Director - Eclipse Marine Asia

It was very beneficial meeting people that I already know, and new people / companies that have great potential for future business. The event was professional and relaxed at the same time.

Purchaser - Fr. Lürssen GmbH & Co. KG

It was the first time that I attended MTB, but it was a very effective and well organised event.

Managing Director - Holland Marine Lifts BV

It was a perfect event with more output than we ever thought. We can make some business now for sure, and we will be back next year.

Sales Consultant & Support - Ognios GmbH

I would always recommend the Copland MTB to everyone who is interested in establishing business contacts and getting to know new companies in a concentrated format and a very effective and efficient manner. Fixed appointments during the day can be extended afterwards in the afternoon with plenty of time left to also see and meet companies that you're not having an official meeting with.

Operations Manager - ODENWALD Yacht Skills

Excellent opportunity to meet Suppliers and Buyers in our industry in a very conductive environment.

Managing Director - Solent Refit

Its a great event, everything is well organised. The way the meetings are produced is unique, very productive and effective. One of the best ways to meet new suppliers! The location was very beautiful and helped in relaxing after long business talk.

Design Team Leader - Horizon Yacht Co.,Ltd.

MTB Superyachts Rhodes 2017 was an extremely well run event, i found the format highly effective for developing new business relationships with suppliers. The time allocated for each meeting was ample and the social events afterwards offered a valuable springboard for further discussion.

Technical Manager - Y.CO

A well organised, concentrated event that allows the Supplier the opportunity to introduce their products directly to the decision makers (Buyers).

International Sales Engineer - NAIAD Dynamics

A very efficient way to meet existing clients and prospects in an environment that starts long time relationships.

Sales Director - Hydromar Marine Equipment B.V

I always experience the MTB Superyachts events as the most effective relation building event in the Superyacht market, the fact that everybody takes the opportunity and time to get out of their protected environment and listen.

Business Development Manager - Alewijnse Marine

MTB Superyachts Lake Maggiore 2016 provided me the productive meetings to get to know suppliers/ products/ services, which I had never known, within a very good and enjoyable environment. It is a very good chance for both buyers and sellers to develop a great sparkle . If you never try it and you will never know. The well planning event deserves my best compliment.

Purchasing Manager - Ta Shing Yachts

Best yet that I have been to- Well organised, great crowd and good food. Idyllic setting.

Technical Manager - Camper & Nicholsons

The format is very effective. 20 minutes is the optimal time for meetings.

General Manager- Alnacon

It was better than I expected. New companies were there, and I had very effective conversations with suppliers about international cooperation.

Member of Board - SES Yachts

MTB is today one of the best ways to meet new people in the market sector, it can easily replace an exhibition by being cheaper.

Sales Director - Eliche Radice S.p.a.

High return of investment, both time and money wise. A very efficent and excellent platform to make new business contacts and catch up with exisiting ones.

Regional Sales Manager - Seven Seas Group

A great use of time for the investment, compared to the more traditional exhibitions.

Managing Director - LMK Thermosafe Ltd

MTB Superyachts is a brilliant platform to meet with both Suppliers and Buyers in the industry. The group has a very mixed background with different perspectives, making the off meeting time conversations as lively as the interesting presentations during the one-to-one meetings

Naval Architect, Studio Delta

Great format presenting the opportunity to meet colleagues that would not normally happen at yacht shows.

Technical Manager, West Nautical

A highly effective business networking event that brings buyers and Suppliers together via a well formatted 2 day 3 evening event.

Purchasing, Palma Refit

Time spent together in the Algarve was above expectations! The format and informal part gave an open atmosphere and possibilities to follow up.

Service Manager, Cramm Yachting

Meet the Buyer was an excellent event which brought me as close as possible to the decision makers. The time, moneyh and efforts you would have to make to have personal meetings with this amount of people are way higher. The atmosphere was very relaxed and much more focused than any other exhibition or event.

Business Development Manager, Transas Marine

Very intensive, very enjoyable and very productive where not only the meetings are relevant but also the social opportunities. I never had the opportunity to drink a beer with a purchaser whilst sitting by the pool. A unique networking event, one of a kind!

Business Development, Struik & Hamerslag Yacht Interiors

A very useful opportunity to meet key players in the Superyacht industry and raise the profile of Trend Marine Products. The event is well organised and offers a unique environment to do so.

Superyacht Sales Manager, Trend Marine

A very efficient event where we have been able to make beneficial contacts for future and running projects.

Director Sales and Operations, Hydromar Marine Equipment b.v.

Perfect framework for bringing together Buyers and Suppliers.

Project Manager, De Klerk Binnenbouw B.V

MTB Porto 2014 was a new highlight on the calendar, the people, the meetings and the social events are a winning combination that makes it an intense and relaxing event over two days.

Director, Naval Architect, Studio Delta

A better place to meet Suppliers than at any boat show, as there is time for a proper conversation and at the same time the programme is compressed sufficiently to make it an efficient use of time.

Demler Managing Partner, Marine Projects GmbH

Best and most effective two days of the year as far as meeting our suppliers. It’s a great place to learn the newest trends and the hottest companies.

Manager, Trinity Yachts, LLC,

Wonderful experience, great to have so many meetings in one day.

Sales & Export Manager, PFC Marine

Great experience, the best event to meet potential buyers and showing them our products in a professional way. In other words: you never get 20 minutes of full attention being not yet very known as a supplier in the business, even though my products are competitive and interesting.

International Sales Director, Christian Fischbacher & Co AG

MTB Superyachts Dubrovnik 2013 was a well-organised and greatly appreciated event. Positive atmosphere, level playing field and great social gatherings around the business meetings. This becomes a not to miss opportunity to meet the industry.

Director, Studio Delta

A great event that was great value for money and great for not only meeting customers but also networking within the industry.

VP Sales America, Intellian

Another excellently organised event, held in a stunning location. I have made some very useful contacts, I look forward to receiving quotes from them and hopefully doing business in the future.

General Manager, Asia Pacific Superyachts

A good way to meet business contacts - suppliers, other buyers, competitors and renew some old contacts. In a relaxed atmosphere that is far more productive than attending industry shows.

Manager - Yacht Services, Fraser Yachts

Dear MTB Team I’d like to thank you very much for organising and staging possibly the most useful superyacht event I’ve been to. MTB looks sure to become one of the must-attend events in the superyacht calendar, and I’m greatly looking forward to next year’s event in Dubrovnik. Kind regards Benjamin matrixLloyd

Benjamin - matrixLloyd

A nice event where you are away from daily matters not too long, and then where you are ready to take time to listen to other people and develop a confidence relationship with them.

Managing Director, Verhaaren Naval Architects

It was a very productive use of time, as often these meetings we cannot schedule during shows. I have developed various new useful contacts. It was an excellent format and thank you for organizing such a high quality event. I look forward to attending again next year.

Creative Director, Sanlorenzo Americas

I would highly recommend MTB Superyachts as it is not only very well organised, but also due to high standard and quality of companies taking place.

Purchase and Owners Representative, Odenwald - The Yacht Surveyors

It was a very useful event for us. Now i had time for talking with "potential new" suppliers. On a normal boat show we haven't time for conversations like this. In my opinion it is the best way to meet new suppliers

Logistic Process Coordinator, Amels

It was very effective as always. Just received my first enquiry

Sales Director, Hepworth Wynn

The format was just perfect!

Designer, F.LLi Razeto e Casareto S.P.A.

The whole event was entered sceptically as I was not sure the right people would attend. WRONG! It was extremely professional, not a single overlap, and well received by the buyers. Venue, food and networking were EXCELLENT!

Martek Marine Ltd

Attending the MTB Superyacht event probably was the best spent sales budget since years, there were so many formal and informal opportunities to meet, speak and "have a drink on the terrace" with all of the participants that the relationships became more than just business relation.
