1st Forum on nautical engineering and design YEF is the first event organised in Italy to bring together engineers, designers, shipbuilding technicians, architects and all the people who have to do with the complex world of nautical design.
YEF, which is unique of its kind, come out of Seatec, Carrara, the only exhibition focussed on nautical and marine supplies and subcontracting.
The one day’s symposium is an extraordinary opportunity for all the industry experts to exchange ideas on important and innovative subjects addressed by internationally-renowned experts.
It is also a rare opportunity for all the Italian design world to meet, socialise and exchange ideas, an opportunity that can remarkably strengthen naval engineering and design on the national and international markets.
