Roundtable: Don’t Lose Touch – How to Tap In to the Power of On-Board Satellite Connectivity

With guest speaker Nick Moloney, world-record breaking Australian yachtsman, adventurer and businessman

Come and join us in what promises to be a highly interactive session to find out how other Captains and ETOs view the world of satellite connectivity in 2019. The latest Inmarsat Superyacht Connectivity Report has revealed some trends that are set to transform the way you live and work on-board:

• the significant upsurge in large scale VSAT usage and spend by 2024

• how the demand for satcom for IoT and TV over IP streaming for leisure are driving significant growth and innovation in the sector

• why many Captains and ETOs are becoming increasingly concerned by the current lack of cyber resilience within the Superyacht industry

The format for this year has two components:

11:30 – 12:20: Interactive session with the Inmarsat team

You will have the chance to compare your experiences and views of satellite connectivity with some of the key trends that emerged from the 2019 Inmarsat Survey. Through debate and discussion, you will gain some unique insight into how to effectively manage on-board connectivity in the years ahead.

12:20 – 13:00: Lunch with Nick Moloney

Elite sailor and circumnavigator Nick Moloney will be joining us for an informal lunch.  During the lunch, Nick will relate some of his unique experience of on-board connectivity and discuss with you any points of interest, clarification or concerns that arose from the previous session. He will also discuss related topics that you may have a particular interest in, including his own views on the importance of having the right connectivity.

ALL ATTENDING CAPTAINS AND ETO’S WILL BE OFFERED A COMPLIMENTARY DAY PASS FOR THE MONACO YACHT SHOW
