The first edition of the Hong Kong Yacht Show, which had been slated for Nov. 19-22, has been postponed. “There is unfortunately still a lot of uncertainty about exactly what we would be able to deliver next month. So, with the agreement of the vast majority of our exhibitors…we have decided to postpone the show to October 2021,” said show co-organizer CEO Andy Treadwell of Verventia in a statement. “By that time, we are all confident that these dramatically unpredictable and economically difficult times will be behind us, and we will be able to deliver a truly professional, attractive, entertaining and highly populated boat show, worthy of its name, and a proper representation of our important industry.”
