Sylvie Ernoult appointed as new Show Manager for the Cannes Boat Show
The Federation of Nautical Industries, Reed Exhibitions France, has announced today the appointment of Sylvie Ernoult as the new Show Manager of the Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes, the first on-water boat show in Europe.
2013 marks the 36th anniversary of the Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes – the International Cannes Boat Show. The event will take place between 10th – 15th September on the glittering Bay of Cannes, famed for glitz, glamour and international premieres.
Arguably the most prestigious event on the yachting calendar, the Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes is Europe’s leading in-water boat show and the first international show on the nautical calendar. Spread over the Vieux Port, Espace Riviera and the Port Pierre Canto, the show will offer close to 500 boats on display, built by the leading luxury shipyards. Le Vieux Port will showcase inspiring new models and products over the six day event, with a mix of motor boats and sailing boats ranging from 10 to 62 metres on the water, and parts manufacturers and service companies positioned on land.
Last year saw 450 exhibitors from 34 countries, featured 150 worldwide premieres which attracted over 45,000 visitors from around the world.
