The event was opened by Peter Valles, Chairman of the UAE Branch. He thanked the speakers and the sponsors for their generous support. He introduced a short video, recorded by Adam Brancher, IIMS President, who was unable to be at the event in person. All presentations were short sharp as each speaker had only 20 minutes to make his point.

First to speak was IIMS CEO, Mike Schwarz, who in his short presentation tackled the subject ‘The relevance of IIMS in the 21st century and how marine insurers can get the most from Institute members’. In particular he spoke of the need for surveyors to stick to their area of specialism and competence; and he reminded those requiring the services of a surveyor to use reputable sources only and to choose those who are members of a professional organisation only.
