ISS Sets Two Monaco Yacht Show Events for 23 September

The International Superyacht Society has scheduled two industry events at Yacht Club de Monaco on 23 September 2026, during the Monaco Yacht Show. The programme combines an afternoon Leadership Series focused on practical artificial-intelligence tools with an evening members reception.

Both events place professional discussion alongside the commercial activity of the show in Monaco. The timing gives yacht builders, designers, brokers, managers and other industry participants a forum to discuss operational uses of AI while many of the sector's decision-makers are already gathered in the principality.

Leadership Series turns to practical AI tools

The Monaco Leadership Series is scheduled from 14:00 to 17:00 under the theme “AI in Action: Practical Tools for the Yachting Industry”. The framing is significant because it moves the discussion away from broad predictions about artificial intelligence and toward tools that companies can apply in day-to-day work.

For the superyacht sector, likely applications range from research and document handling to customer service, operational data, maintenance support and internal productivity. The value of the session will therefore depend on how clearly speakers distinguish useful, controlled applications from systems that still require human verification and governance.

Members reception follows in the evening

ISS has scheduled its members reception from 18:00 to 20:00 at the same venue. The society says the reception will also be used to announce finalists for the 2026 ISS Design Awards, giving the evening both a networking and awards-related role.

That pairing makes the day more than a standalone seminar because technical discussion can flow into a broader industry gathering. During Monaco Yacht Show week, such events are often useful for bringing together people who otherwise have tightly scheduled yacht visits, client meetings and supplier appointments.

Monaco remains a focal point for industry debate

The ISS programme reinforces Monaco's role as a meeting point not only for yachts on display but also for industry policy, design, technology and professional-network discussions. The 2026 show runs from 23 to 26 September, so the ISS events take place on the opening day.
