Every year, the International Breakfast Meeting (IBM) held at boot Düsseldorf offers trade visitors, industry, and journalists the opportunity to exchange information on the latest market trends, regulations, and innovation, as well as to develop new contacts and networks. The 2021 edition, held online, was attended by 220 participants and boasted the participation of European Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius. This marked the first time a European Commissioner participated in IBM, showing the prominent presence of the event and the boating industry in EU policy-making.
In January 2022 for its seventh edition and held online once more, the IBM will again tackle a crucial topic for the boating industry under the theme of “International trade opportunities and supply chain challenges”. The main topics will be the EU’s new trade policy and the supply chain challenges that are affecting the boating sector. This will be informed by presentations from the EU institutions, speakers from the boating sector and other sectors, such as automotive and logistics.
The aim of the discussion at IBM 2022 is to help businesses navigate the EU’s future approach to trade, as well as discuss potential solutions to supply chain challenges and identify new opportunities for the boating sector over the coming years.
