Speaking about making connection at last year’s event, exhibitor Marek Landa, CEO of Crystal Caviar, said: “The Dubai International Boat Show is one of the most important events on our calendar each year owing to the fact that it brings industry professionals from around the globe under one roof. We’ve sold out of all the pieces that we had brought with us and had some fruitful conversations over the past five days that we will be taking forward post the show.”To become an exhibitor and participate in the most high-profile maritime event in the region, just fill in the form here to book a stand.
