METSTRADE: Registration open for Women in Marine event
The 2024 Women in the Marine Industry International event will return to METSTRADE this November.
Hosted by British Marine, METSTRADE, Marine Industry News and Soundings Trade Only, the event will take place on Wednesday 20 November 2024, from 8.30-10.30am in the METSTRADE Theatre, RAI Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.
First launched in 2022, the Women in the Marine Industry International event provides a platform for industry professionals of all genders to connect, network, and gain valuable insights from leading female voices in the marine industry.
Marine Industry News is a staunch supporter of events like these as they offer lively discussion, knowledge sharing and the chance to network in a thriving community.
Lyndsay McClay, commercial manager at MIN, says: “Marine Industry News is proud to continue supporting the Women in Marine International event at METSTRADE this year. This event is crucial in celebrating the achievements of women across the marine industry and fostering a more inclusive and diverse environment. By supporting this initiative, we are not only recognising the significant contributions women make to our sector but also encouraging a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”
METSTRADE visitors and exhibitors are invited to join for a panel discussion and the opportunity to network with peers over a light breakfast.
The panel will share their knowledge, experiences and journeys. This year’s discussion will focus on ‘Visions of the Future: the impact of technology, AI and people on the future of work’. Full details of the 2024 panel will be announced soon.
MIN believes, like Women in Boatbuilding’s Belinda Joslin, that equality is not a yearly insta post.

“This annual event provides an invaluable space to gather, learn, network, share, connect, and get inspired.
