The international sail training & tall ships

BORDEAUX 2026

In January 2026, we were delighted welcome delegates to The Sail Training International Conference 2026, held in Bordeaux, France.

The conference took place on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th January 2026 at the Palais des Congrès de Bordeaux – a modern, spacious, purpose-built conference centre in the Bordeaux Lac (or Lake District) area in the North of the city – a reclaimed area based around a very attractive recreational lake.

As the leading voice in sail training and Tall Ships, we were delighted to once more welcome delegates from around the world including Tall Ship owners and operators, sail training providers and host port organisers of future events, to enjoy a programme full of informative sessions and invaluable networking opportunities.

The conference included a plenary session as well as many interactive break-out sessions, ensuring that information exchange and networking remained at the heart of the event.
