When speaking at the Summit panel, it makes no difference if you are managing a worldwide fleet of boats as companies such as Sunsail or Istion – counting in the hundreds, or if you are a local charter company that is just starting to grow your business – you will be heard. The business driven discussions between charter companies and their partners the charter agents brings all of them closer to finding mutually beneficial solutions for streamlining their collaboration and bring added value to their clients and business.
