Time to celebrate METS, the biggest and best attended leisure marine trade show in the world, celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2012. The show has come through boom years and lean times but every year for a quarter of a century METS has continued to build international recognition as the undisputed number one trade show of its kind.
How METS works METS and its associated SuperYacht Pavilion (SYP) is strictly trade-only, product focused and truly international with exhibitors and visitors coming from over 100 countries every year. There are renowned national pavilions, organised by 15 different marine industry associations from all over the globe.
25 years Beware of the party spirit at METS 2012! A 25th birthday is a truly special landmark event. METS started back in 1988 with just over 100 exhibitors, and in 2011 had 1,331. In 1988 we had two national pavilions and modest exhibition space but by 2011 we had 15 established national pavilions and nine halls in the new RAI Europa Complex... there is a lot to celebrate!
• 19,000+ visitors from 100+ countries • 1,300+ exhibitors (incl. 150+ in the SYP) • 15 national pavilions • 3 specialist pavilions including the SYP • Strictly professional, strictly trade-only • Meet & Greet areas for excellent networking
METS works It is the best venue for serious face-to-face networking and has a unique family ambience. Industry professionals return to METS year on year to meet new faces but also to catch up with the many industry contacts they have built up over the years. If you only see someone once a year, you’ll see them at METS!
Products and prizes METS is an unrivalled gallery of proven and new products in all categories within the leisure marine sector. It’s the place to spot emerging trends and innovations, and to see the extra special products that have won acclaim as finalists in the DAME (Design Award METS) prize, the undisputed leisure marine design award of the year.
