A unique programme of three specialist events for the sub IMO/sub 24m professional sector is being held back to back at the Grand Harbour in Southampton UK this October.
The fast moving workshop style programme brings together an international group of experts armed with the latest knowledge to identify problems that affect the maritime sector worldwide and highlight potential solutions.
John Haynes, event organiser and workshop lead, said: “Next Generation sessions are dynamic and relevant, with plenty of long breaks to encourage networking and knowledge sharing. We focus on viable innovation and using people’s time effectively. We also know that having the right people onboard is essential and there is no substitute for meeting the experts face to face when asking the hard questions.”
Each workshop concentrates on a particular current area of interest so people can attend single days or all three days. The subjects highlight emerging opportunities. British Marine, SSA and RINA members receive 20% discount.
The Next Generation SHOCK MITIGATION Workshop on 25 October 2016 focuses on shock mitigation solutions. Attendees include professional and military organisations, boat builders, equipment manufacturers, service providers and classification societies.
