About the Institute for Real Growth

The Institute for Real Growth (IRG) helps CMOs worldwide increase their personal, business, and societal impact by driving more Humanized Growth. Our programs and events connect CMOs to peers, experts, and best practices. The IRG operates as a not-for-profit and independent organization and is supported by WPP, Google, TCS, Ipsos, the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, Chinese Business School CKGSB, and Spencer Stuart.

The IRG programs are built on the findings of Marketing2030, the 2024 IRG Impact Study as well as four previous studies; the IRG Growth Study, Marketing2020, Insights2020 and the Leading Global Brands Study. 

Before you come aboard

We’re looking forward to welcoming you on board the Clipper Stad Amsterdam. To make sure everyone has a smooth and enjoyable experience, here are a few things to keep in mind:

An intimate setting
The ship offers a unique and intimate environment, which means space is limited. Therefore, you can register for one program session only, unless you have received a personal invitation for other sessions. Please only subscribe for the program that you really want to attend. To maintain a good balance between VIA members and international attendees, a fixed number of seats is allocated to each group. As a result, availability per session is limited. Pre-registration (1 week prior) is required – no registration = no access.

Access to the vessel may be denied even if a person holds a valid ticket, for safety reasons or if the vessel has reached its maximum permitted capacity.

Getting to the ship
Our three-masted flagship is anchored in the bay of Cannes and can be reached by two tender boats (25 persons per boat). Please arrive at the dock at least 30 minutes before your session so you have enough time to board and settle in.

The exact location to board will be announced later.

Arrival on the day
Access is managed on a first come, first served basis, so we recommend arriving on time to secure your spot. 

Bring your passport
As we are on international waters, a valid passport is required for boarding. When registering for any program, we kindly ask you to provide your full name, passport number, date of birth and nationality. This information is required for boarding access on international waters. Please note, your name must match.

Onboard conduct
We want to create a welcoming and safe environment for everyone on board.  We expect all guests to respect the rules applicable on international waters. This means:

• No boarding under the obvious influence of alcohol
• No drugs allowed on board
• No hazardous items

We reserve the right to deny access if these conditions are not met. Follow all instructions from the crew and captain at all times.

Agreement to conditions
By taking your place on board the Clipper Stad Amsterdam, you agree to comply with the above conditions and any instructions provided by the crew and organization.
