Metstrade 2026 Opens Visitor Registration and Programme Highlights

Visitor registration opened for Metstrade 2026 with the organisers confirming plans for more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 halls at RAI Amsterdam. The July announcement also provided the first detailed look at a wider week of conferences, specialist stages, technology showcases and networking around the main 17–19 November exhibition.

More structured content around the exhibition

The 2026 programme introduces longer 45-minute sessions followed by dedicated networking periods on the Metstrade and Superyacht stages. The format is designed to give technical and strategic subjects more depth while allowing attendees to continue discussions directly with speakers and other industry specialists.

Early programme highlights included propulsion, sustainability and future technology, alongside a dedicated superyacht agenda. The wider week also incorporates The Superyacht Forum, creating a direct link between high-level strategic discussion and the manufacturers, service companies and suppliers exhibiting at Metstrade.

Registration ahead of the November show

The release said free visitor registration would remain available until 1 November, after which an admission charge would apply. Organisers also highlighted accommodation, transport and travel options intended to help international visitors plan the Amsterdam event earlier.

The July programme announcement was distinct from later changes to the physical Superyacht Zone, which Superyacht Guide covered separately in the later Superyacht Zone expansion update. Together, the announcements show how the event's content programme and specialist exhibition footprint continued to develop during the months before the show.
