To all of our U.S. Superyacht Association (USSA) Sponsors, Partners and members: Between attendees at our top events, foot-traffic during the show, our web and social media presence – your business and messages was highly visible during this year’s USSA Spring Events at the Palm Beach International Boat Show! Your association hosted some of the year’s favorite events during March 23 - 26, 2023 at PBIBS. Again, we were “The Place to Be” throughout the show, at the Superyacht Summit, the Inspire Initiative, the USSA Pavilion, and at various events. We showcased USSA member partners to maximize their investment and ROI through unique and targeted industry events specially curated to attract key industry sectors. The Superyacht Summit kicked off the week tackling the critical issue of sustainability and offering unique perspectives on highlighting how we can work as industry to make a difference. Members then gathered to network on the first day of the Show with some “Paella on the Promenade.” Our promenade location offers the perfect venue for members to connect within the heart of the Show. The Inspire Initiative lived up to its name once again with an A-list of speakers and panelists providing stories and wisdom lifting up everyone in the room and creating a camaraderie across all the various attendees within the industry. Attendees embraced energetic plans and indispensable information for their personal and business successes. Expert at the unique activation of traditional exhibitor offerings, USSA continues to exceed expectations with our partners and networking opportunities. Partners and sponsors were heavily spotlighted throughout the show to promote their companies to key markets, as well as to increase market share. Our success showed with impressions, click-thru rates, web site visits, and followers. Although complicated, the following reports detail exposure and reach on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and more with information on comparisons, traffic, and page views. Demographics include the Superyacht Summit, Inspire Initiative, and USSA Pavilion and various events featuring: - An analytical snapshot of social media campaigns and web presence exposure - Images, attendee counts, and descriptions of each event - Partner listings and exhibitor showcases USSA looks forward to working with sponsors and partners for continued future success for each industry and the superyacht industry worldwide.
