Around 300 delegates are expected to participate in the 'Boat India 08' International Conference on Boating and Yachting, from December 14 to 16 at Kochi.
The conference is organised by Marine BizTV, the Global Maritime Television Channel. Speaking to media persons on Friday, S K Sohan Roy, CEO, Marine BizTV, said the event will provide an excellent platform for the water sports enthusiasts of India, especially Kerala to learn more techniques on yachting. Another highlight is the introduction of Marinas (parking space for yachts) to India, particularly Kochi. The importance of Marinas in India has been re-established with the upcoming events like Boat India 08 and Volvo Ocean Race. An exhibition showcasing the latest information and products in the boat and yacht industry and the inaugural International Boating Awards, are also planned, he said. An added attraction during the Boat India 08 is the commencement of Maritime Cultural Olympics and Marine Film Festival. The conference along with the exhibition will provide information and business networking opportunity to its delegates and top players in the boat and yacht industry. The presence of prominent names like Gulf craft, Fincantieri Yachts and others will make the event an international convergence of lead players in the industry drawing worldwide attention, he said.
