Both events will take place on 10-11 December at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco and will come together for a jointly-hosted cocktail event at the end of the first day to provide further networking opportunities.
Motor Sport Business Forum event director, Simon Berger, said: "The parallels between global motor sport and world class sailing are well-known. Both are multi-billion dollar industries which attract the highest levels of sponsorship and technical know-how. We
are proud to host the first-ever event to bring the sailing and motor sport industries together."
The Motor Sport Business Forum will feature Formula One teams, global motor racing sponsors, championship organisers, race circuit owners and world class drivers, from across the motor sport spectrum. Speakers set for the Forum this year include Vodafone's Global Director of Marketing David Wheldon, MotoGP Managing Director
Pau Serracanta and Force India CEO Vijay Mallya.
