Hope Island
An unmissable opportunity for your people wanting to get into the marine industry or extend their networks.
The Young Professionals Lunch is a dedicated networking event for under 35s who are emerging leaders within the marine industry or those who would like to extend their networks.
Presented in partnership with Rivergate Marina & Shipyard and returning for its second year, the lunch features guest speakers sharing insights across marketing, media and shipyard operations.
This year's lunch will offer the rare opportunity to listen live to Ben Taylor, host of The Ben Taylor Podcast. A regular fixture interviewing marine industry professionals at Boat Shows around the world, Ben is a renowned global marketing strategist and host of a podcast focused on the leisure marine and yachting industry.
In addition, attendees will listen to insights from George Bains, Director of Impacto Creative, a production company focused on purpose-driven storytelling, specialising in documentary-style content for the yachting and sports sectors.
Along with Angus Paterson, Project Manager at Rivergate for the past 10 years, who has overseen a range of successful refits from smaller tenders to large international superyachts over 80m in length.
We invite you to join us for lunch, drinks and enjoy listening to how these young marine industry professionals have succeeded in their chosen careers.
