International Sail Training & Tall Ships Conference Opens for Registrations
We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for the International Sail Training & Tall Ships Conference 2022, taking place in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, from Friday 18th to Saturday 19th November…
After missing our annual in-person conference for two years running, we are truly delighted to be able to return with the stunning backdrop of one of Spain’s most famous islands.
We are very grateful to the authorities in Gran Canaria for their support and advice in helping us to organise what promises to be an exciting conference for all our stakeholders.
As we organise this year’s conference without the help of an overall sponsor, we would like to make you aware of some changes to the event. Following all of the challenges we have faced in the last two years, we trust you will understand these have been necessary in order to make the conference a reality.
- Reflecting the increase in costs directly relating to arranging the event, delegate fees have increased since our last in-person conference in Antwerp, 2019
- We are no longer in a position to offer free delegate passes to any stakeholders, as we may have done in the past. This includes members of the International Council and the Executive Committee of the Ships Council (ExCom)
You can book your place for what is always a must attend event for everyone involved in Sail Training and Tall Ships, below.
Conference Fees:
- Full Delegate Rate: £800
- Subsidised bonafide Sail Trainer/Operator: £350
- International Council: £250
- Executive Committee of the Ships Council (ExCom): £150
The Sail Training International Ships Council (STISC) will meet before the official conference starts on Thursday 17th November 2022. Registration for this meeting is essential for logistical reasons and only pre-booked delegates will be able to attend.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MEETING IS OPEN TO VESSEL OPERATORS AND MEMBERS OF THE STISC ONLY
Booking your stay
As part of The International Sail Training & Tall Ships Conference 2022, we have teamed up with the Marriot AC Iberia Las Palmas Hotel to offer delegates a reduced booking rate of €100 per night during the conference (16th – 20th November).
To book your room at the reduced rate, just follow the special link below. Please note reduced rates for rooms are available until Friday 30th September.
The conference is shaping up to be an exciting event, with informative and thought-provoking sessions across a range of subjects that are crucial to effective sail training, Tall Ship event management, best practice whilst at sea, and navigating the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and an ever changing landscape of world politics.
Our attendees include vessel operators, sail training programme providers, bidding cities and host ports for future events, and representatives from Sail Training International’s endorsed events – and we look forward to welcoming you too!
