New deputy director at Cannes Yachting Festival

The Cannes Yachting Festival team has announced the appointment of Constance Brément as deputy director.

“Constance has a lot of professional experience in the yachting sector and will contribute with her expertise and strategic vision to strengthen the festival’s position as the European leader in in-water boat shows. Our time working together this coming year will provide the perfect platform from which she can take the bar when I retire,” says Sylvie Ernoult, director.

Brément began her career as an account manager before moving into senior roles in marketing and communications within both the luxury and yachting sectors. In 2014, she was appointed communications and operational marketing director for the Bénéteau Group. She has experience in marketing, brand strategy, and customer experience, and she has led a range of projects in France and internationally.

“I am delighted to join the Cannes Yachting Festival and contribute to its international reach,” says Brément. “I look forward to working alongside Sylvie and the whole team to build the show’s strategy together, focus on innovation and give exhibitors and visitors an unforgettable experience.”

The next Cannes Yachting Festival will take place from 9 to 14 September 2025 in the Vieux Port and Port Canto. The 2024 edition featured 640 exhibitors, 700 boats ranging from 5 to 45 metres in length—including 120 world premieres—and 55,000 visitors.
