EXHIBITOR BROCHURE
A is for accessibilityIt’s also for Amsterdam – the perfect city for a high
profile exhibition. The city is easy to reach by air from
anywhere in the world and it is well connected by road
and rail to other European cities and countries. The
spacious and centrally located Amsterdam RAI halls are
ideal for METS and are purpose-built for exhibitions and
congresses. A streamlined exhibition to make set-up and
dismantling easier for exhibitors and to ensure free flow
for visitors around the show.
B is for B2BIt’s also for buyers – the key decision makers that will
make their way to your stand. We consistently deliver
a highly targeted audience of potential buyers direct to
you because we market METS year-round to the global
marine leisure industry. METS is strictly trade-only, strictly
business-to-business; it’s professionally organised – for
professionals.
C is for communityIt’s also for commitment – the commitment that sees a
high number of greatly valued exhibitors and visitors
return to METS year on year. Loyal attendees return not
only to see the latest products but also to meet up with
industry friends and be part of the METS community.
It’s an extremely sociable exhibition and everyone is
welcome to join in. METS is more than a trade show –
it’s a total event.
STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWDMETS is unique. Not only is it the world’s biggest and best attended marine equipment trade show but
it’s truly global, highly professional and a firm fixture on the annual agenda for industry greats and global
brands. We make it easy to exhibit and easy to visit, and the benefits are as fundamental as ABC!

Meet the pressMembers of the international trade and general boating
press are out in force during METS looking to scoop
stories on the latest innovations and give you valuable
extra publicity. Our press office accommodates about
150 journalists each year.
Innovation in designThe DAME (Design Award METS), which celebrated its
20th anniversary in 2010, is the world’s most coveted
and prestigious prize for product innovation in the
leisure marine field.
Over the past twenty years, an independent jury has
judged several thousand pace-setting products in
specific marine categories. All products entered must
be displayed at METS/SYP and are put on show in the
special DAME Pavilion. The DAME awards are presented
at the annual Breakfast Briefing, an event held for
exhibitors and special guests before show opening time
on the first morning of METS.
Participation is highly competitive
but the winner receives great rewards.
Christiaan Maras, marketing director
EMA for FLIR Systems – winner of
the DAME in 2009 – described the
accolade as a ‘tremendous boost’
to the company’s participation at METS.
“Not only did we attract a lot more visitors but the
international press also easily found its way to our
booth. After the show, we had a lot of press coverage
worldwide in all important maritime magazines. The
DAME Award helped us enormously to put our new
M-Series thermal imaging camera in the market
worldwide,” he said.

exhibitors tell us that the networking opportunities at
METS are unrivalled and valuable contacts make for
better business.
JOIN THE MARK
Superyacht platformThe SuperYacht Pavilion (SYP) at METS is the leading
international trade-only equipment and services
platform for the large luxury yacht market. With
its own hall and its own catering and stand design
arrangements, it has all the independence of a show-
within-a-show whilst enjoying the benefits of being
part of METS. The SYP attracts a high level of visitor
attendance from vessel designers, builders and
superyacht captains, some of whom also take part in the
associated three-day Global Superyacht Forum (GSF), the
leading conference organised
by The Yacht Report Group.
Exhibiting within the SYP is a
cost- and time-efficient way to
promote your company to a relevant, targeted market.
More information can be found in the special SuperYacht
Pavilion brochure, available on metstrade.com
SUPERYACHT PAVILIONSponsored transportAmsterdam RAI, the Dutch national railway company (NS)
and the Amsterdam public transport company (GVB)
have joined forces to offer visitors and exhibitors
cheaper public transport to METS. Reduced tariffs are
offered for journeys to and from every station in the
Netherlands and for buses, metro and trams in
Amsterdam. The initiative fits in with Amsterdam RAI’s
strategy of creating added value for visitors while
keeping social and environmental interests in mind
as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is high on
Amsterdam RAI’s agenda.
