NMMA Members Pleased with Results at METSTRADE 2024
The Marine Equipment Trade Show (METSTRADE) ended last week in Amsterdam after three days of welcoming thousands of marine professionals from across the globe. According to a press release by RAI Amsterdam, the show had a record number of exhibitors participating and overall attendance was up 10% with attendance records being surpassed on each of the three days for this trade-only show.
By and large, NMMA members participating in the USA and Canada Pavilions were pleased with the amount of traffic and sales leads they obtained at the show with exhibitors sharing that the show delivered quality connections and numerous networking opportunities to help grow their businesses.
New for 2024 were 8 sessions hosted directly within the USA Connect Lounge sponsored by NMMA, IBEX and Soundings Trade Only, drawing traffic to the Pavilions to learn more about the North American market. With its fun atmosphere and entertainment, the ‘pavilion party’ attracted an enthusiastic mix of industry professionals, decision-makers, and thought leaders to come together for networking
METSTRADE 2025 will be held November 18-20 once again at the RAI Amsterdam with all new branding for the show and an expansion into another hall at the facility. Along with these big changes announced by RAI Amsterdam, NMMA announced onsite that the USA and Canadian pavilions are being reimagined and expanded in 2025 with a move to Hall 12.
