March 8, 2023

We are pleased to announce that the International Sail Training & Tall Ships Conference 2023 will take place in Dunkirk, France, from Friday 17th to Saturday 18th November…

After a successful return to our in-person conference last year in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, we are excited to once again welcome members of the sail training family for two days of discussions, learning and networking.

The International Sail Training and Tall Ships Conference is an annual event, open to everyone involved in sail training and The Tall Ships Races and Regattas – Tall Ship owners and operators, sail training providers, Host Port organisers of future events and representatives from Sail Training International’s endorsed events. The conference provides a truly unique environment for seminars, workshops and networking as delegates are welcomed from around the world.

“We are thrilled to be working with Dunkirk on the delivery of the International Sail Training & Tall Ships Conference 2023. As a Host Port of The Tall Ships Races 2025, we are very grateful for their additional support in delivering our annual conference.

We very much look forward to meeting our stakeholders again in Dunkirk and working together to continue to create opportunities for young people to benefit from a sail training experience and to ensure the future success of our Events”
