New experts join a strong team to organise the first major B2B trade fair for marine components in Milan.

The SEAQUIP - Mediterranean Yacht and Marine Equipment Trade Fair project, the first B2B event with a focus on marine components planned from the 4th to the 6th of March 2026 at the Milan Rho Exhibition Centre, brings in new skills and significantly enlarges an already strong and consolidated organisation team.

Event organiser Easyfairs Italy highlights the importance of this decisive moment in the development of SEAQUIP and, drawing on its international experience in trade fair organisation, decides to give the initiative an even more powerful boost, with a stronger commitment to investing in new professional resources that ensure the success of the event.

"We have recruited some highly experienced resources to speed up work as much as possible and organise the project in the shortest possible timeframe," commented Pier Paolo Ponchia, Managing Director at Easyfairs Italy. "After 20 new events organised across Europe over the last two years, our launch programme is reliable and, on this basis, we are approaching the 13-month period before the event with great intensity and professionalism."

The new key members of the team include:

Paola Tamburini, a Customer Success Representative with 25 years' experience working in Fiera Milano Group and a media company, and an expert creator of connections and growth opportunities for exhibitors.

Julian Aguilar, a Digital Marketing Specialist skilled in SEM, SEO and Social Media with over eight years' experience in online marketing strategies and a solid background as a professional video maker.

Giorgia Costanzelli, a Community Activator with an important background in marketing and communication at BolognaFiere Group and international companies in the trade fair industry.

The event has the aim of becoming the B2B benchmark in the European boating industry by creating an ideal atmosphere for networking and technological innovation among shipyards and suppliers.

With over 150 exhibitors expected and a packed programme of conferences and in-depth sessions on advanced technologies, SEAQUIP intends to offer strategic opportunities to yachting industry professionals.
