Vripack Yacht Design once again challenged convention at this year’s VriThink’s Night Out (VTNO). This year Vripack was pleased to be partnering up with Sailing Yacht Zero. Since 2019, Vripack has been collaborating with an international team of experts on the creation of Sailing Yacht Zero; the first vessel of its size and comfort level to be powered entirely by renewable energy.
At the heart of Sailing Yacht Zero lies a spirit of collaboration and transparency. The project embraces open-source thinking by freely sharing innovations, prototypes, failings and learnings, and real-time data to maximise its positive impact and inspire others across industries. VTNO, Vripack’s open trend platform, provided the ideal stage to hear directly from the people driving this transformative work.
The VTNO format remained unchanged: eleven expert speakers, each given six minutes in which to deliver 20 slides of their choosing. Fast-paced and high-energy, a refreshing alternative to traditional presentations. A dynamic platform where creativity, science and storytelling collide.
10 speakers will take to the stage for 6 minutes each, delivering 20 slides of their choosing, with 20 seconds attributed to each slide.
