From March 3 to 5, 2026, the very first Yacht Interior Summit will take place at Meyer Werft in Papenburg. Numerous high-profile speakers have already confirmed their participation.
While there are already several conferences dedicated to the superyacht industry, none have focused exclusively on interior design across multiple days—until now. That will change in March 2026, when the world's first Yacht Interior Summit is hosted at the renowned Meyer Werft. Over three days, the summit will spotlight one of the most expensive and personally significant aspects of any yacht: the interior. An area that continues to evolve due to new materials, changing requirements, and ever-stricter regulations.
The program features a diverse mix of keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, with a lineup of top-tier speakers already confirmed. Among them are Jim Dixon, Managing Director of Winch Design; Klaus Busse, Head of Design at Maserati; Axel Hedemann, Head of Interior & Exterior Design at Abeking & Rasmussen; and Anders Kurtén, CEO of Fraser Yachts.
Topics on the first day will include "The Definition of New Luxury", "Design from the Charter Point of View", and "Lighting in Superyachts". The second day's agenda will cover "Rules, Regulations and Compliance Aspects", "What Can Be Learned from Luxury Cruise Liners", and "Carbon Neutral Materials," among others.
The third and final day of the summit will focus entirely on Meyer Werft itself, which will open its doors for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. In addition to visiting the shipyard's Visitor Center, attendees will gain unique insights into Meyer Werft's state-of-the-art production processes and forward-thinking shipbuilding projects. Members of the shipyard's senior management team, including Chief Sales Officer Thomas Weigend, will be on hand throughout the day.
Participation in the (English-language) Yacht Interior Summit 2026 is priced at €2,395 for bookings made by July 31, 2025. After that, the price increases to €2,995. The event is organized by Berlin-based RedCabin GmbH, which has earned an excellent reputation worldwide for its industry summits in the automotive, aviation, and railway sectors.
