for captains and chief engineers working aboard the Group’s yachts
Las Vegas, 16 October 2019 – For once, what happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas. Instead, it will spread across the globe in the form of greater experience and enhanced expertise, as Ferretti Group’s captains and chief engineers do their essential work. “Convergence” will take place among the bright lights of the American city from 22 to 25 October. It will provide an opportunity for the captains and chief engineers from the Group’s ships and other vessels to hear the latest news and learn about key technical matters.
More than 100 captains and chief engineers from all over the world will take part in the packed schedule of activities at “Convergence” 2019.
In a number of dynamics, stimulating sessions, they will get the chance to share know-how and take an in-depth look at technical matters, during interactive debates about topical issues in the field. The participants will play a core role as they share their ideas, experiences, and suggestions. They will steer and run the technical sessions themselves.
Once again, a hugely important contribution will be made by technical input from Ferretti Group’s experts and leading partners such as MAN, MTU, Naviop-Simrad, Rina, SIDE POWER and Volvo.
Complementing the time in the classroom will be the ever-popular and profitable team building activities, which on this occasion will take place in the breathtaking landscape surrounding Las Vegas. Enthralling challenges and opportunities to mingle will help to bolster the sense of team spirit.
