CEO Chat (continued)


The past couple of months have seen IIMS out on the road running various training events. It is remarkable to discover when the numbers were added up that over the past eleven months I have met well over 200 members personally. The events we have run this year have been very varied with a wealth of diverse content. I am pleased to announce our provisional events schedule for 2019, which will see us venturing to some old, familiar haunts as well as some new places too. A provisional list of events can be found in this news bulletin.


HOT NEWS just reaching me comes from your President in Dubai, UAE. Capt Zarir Irani has informed me that the next UAE branch conference (the tenth anniversary edition) taking place towards the end of 2019 will be held on board the famous QE2, (remember her), now permanently moored in Dubai. Now there’s a mouth-watering prospect. Perhaps I will see you there, if not before?


It only remains for me to thank everyone throughout the IIMS family around the world, including my head office colleagues, external speakers and suppliers for their amazing efforts and support in 2018. If you celebrate Christmas, have a good one and a restful festive holiday. And my best wishes to you for a Happy and Prosperous New Year too.


Survey well. Mike Schwarz
