Bond Technical Management Supporting ISS and PYA Monaco Event

The Third Annual Meeting of the Associations Garners another Presenter

20 August 2009, Fort Lauderdale, FL: The International Superyacht Society (ISS) is pleased to announce that Bond Technical Management-the leader in AV/IT design and specification for new builds and refits in the megayacht market-has agreed to sponsor The Third Annual Meeting of the Associations. Co-hosted with the Professional Yachtsmen's Association (PYA), more than 300 industry leaders and yacht owners attended the highly successful event last during the 2008 Monaco Yacht Show. Attendance is expected to be similar at this year's event.

"Based on the wonderful experience we've had with ISS and PYA and knowing that the Monaco event is fast becoming a fixture for the Show, we eagerly came on board to support the event, says Will Faimatea, Bond TM's Director and Founder. "It's this kind of collaboration that closely mirrors our own business model in creating the kind of highly sophisticated technical engineering and project management that builds a bridge between the conceptual interests of owners and their representatives and the finished yacht," he says.

Andrew Schofield, who is both Master of White Rose of Drachs and PYA's president comments, "Bond TM's support of the Meeting of the Associations helps us make this event possible. In fact, everything they are doing is having an effect. For instance, "The Jetstream®" concept will have a profound impact on the yacht market. It's a sign of leadership that in addition to their ground-breaking technology, they are also willing to participate in events and programs that are of benefit to the entire industry."

This year's Meeting of the Associations is being held on Friday, 25 September 2009 from 17.00-20.00 hours at the Yacht Club de Monaco.
