Organizers of Metstrade said that after the record-breaking 2025 show last fall, demand for stand space is higher than it has ever been this early in the year. “Any brands looking to exhibit outside the Country Pavilions but haven’t yet registered are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment,” a Metstrade statement said.
For Metstrade 2026, there will be a host of changes to offer increased clarity for visitors and more commercial opportunities for exhibitors.
“Metstrade 2026 will have a layout that maximises spaces and allows for an even better experience — both for visitors and exhibitors,” Metstrade director Niels Klarenbeek said in the statement. “These adjustments have been developed in close collaboration with our key stakeholders, including ICOMIA, SYBass, and the Exhibition Committee.”
Key changes will include:
- The Superyacht Zone is relocating to Halls 7 and 8, connected by a flyover corridor. This gives the superyacht sector increased floor space and will enable the zone to receive increased visitor footfall.
- The two largest manufacturing countries in the superyacht industry, Italy and the Netherlands, will exhibit together in Hall 7.
- The Marina & Yard Zone is moving to Hall 9, placing it closer to the Superyacht Zone; a long-standing request from many exhibitors, visiting captains and crew.
- The Construction Materials Zone is expanding from Hall 11 into part of Hall 10.
