With the relaxation of the recent government guidelines in the Netherlands, the METSTRADE team is full steam ahead with the planning of a physical show to take place 16-18 November 2021, in Amsterdam, at the RAI Exhibition Centre.
The event, which is usually home to 12 halls, will this year utilise halls 1-7 plus the Elicium (from Elysium, meaning ‘a delightful place’) building, this will result in a secure and easy way to navigate the show, putting exhibitor and visitor safety at the forefront.
This year, the show will welcome 1,300 international exhibitors with over 160 of them representing the UK. British Marine will return to the show as an exhibitor and host the British Pavilion located in hall 3, as well as the British Superyacht Cluster in the Superyacht Pavilion, located in hall 7.
The full show floor plan can be found here.
Now that it is confirmed that the show will go ahead in a physical format and UK citizens can enter the Netherlands quarantine free, confidence has risen resulting in many last minute bookings within the British Pavilion – which currently has only three stands left for British Marine members to secure.
METSTRADE offers a shell scheme package, meaning your stand build is seamless and stress-free. Each stand comes with a pre-built structure, carpet, lighting, electricity and furniture, so that you only need to arrange your graphics and any products you wish to display. British Marine also works with a preferred and trusted freight provider which ensures that the British Pavilion exhibitors have priority during show build up and break down. This allows members to manage their stand in a time-efficient manner.
British Marine will also be exhibiting within the British Pavilion creating a central hub, where member exhibitors and visitors can make use of the stand meeting areas and refreshments. The British Marine team will be on hand throughout the show visiting members’ stands, offering knowledge and support which is especially important during this time.
We are excited to announce that events can also take place during the show this year, meaning that there will be many opportunities for exhibitors and visitors to reconnect and network after a long period of time apart. British Marine also hopes to host the popular annual British Marine Meet the Buyer Networking Reception within the British Pavilion during the show.
The full events programme can be found here.
There have been several changes to the show to comply with COVID measures that have been put in place including the entrance procedure. Full details can be found here.
Visitors from outside the EU (including the UK) will need to follow a number of steps before travelling to the Netherlands, full details can be found here.
This year, British Marine has a number of sponsorship opportunities available to put your company front and centre and increase your profile at the show. Sponsoring an event showcases your business with a great opportunity to reach out to a vast audience and highlights your company, products and services on an international platform.
