Inaugural Marine Surveying


International Fest 2018 voted a hit On Tuesday 6th November at 11.00 UK time, IIMS opened the first 24-hour non-stop marathon Marine Surveying International Fest 2018, hosted live from the Institute’s offices in Portchester, Hampshire. The aim of the event was to recognise and celebrate as many different branches of the surveying profession as possible through a series of twenty four presentations with a new subject being introduced on the hour every hour. Presentations were delivered by experts in their field from various worldwide locations including Australia, New Zealand, America, Singapore, South Korea, UAE, India, Europe and the UK.


The heart-warming verbatim comments received immediately after the Fest from some of the delegates speak for themselves:


– “Despite the fact I have been a marine surveyor for 34 years the 24 hour Fest provided me with a massive (probably much needed) refresher course as well as new learning. Absolutely excellent in all respects. Congratulations and thanks to all.”


– “Excellent presentations and format. The presentations were very educational and speakers experts in fields, appreciated them all.”


– “I want to thank you and the IIMS staff for the presentations and holding the Fest. It was very informative, educational, and interesting. I truly hope you have it again next year. Again, WELL DONE!”


– “Great event!”


– “Congratulations to you, Mike and all the team who put together the Fest presentations. I participated live for the Spanish daytime time sessions and looking forward to seeing the videos of those that I missed. I made quite a few notes and some of the content has prompted me to have a good look around my own operation to see where I can improve and for sure there will be a number of areas. Well done everybody.”


– “I must say thanks to you Mike and the rest of the team. The Fest went off very well. The speakers were varied but I found all interesting. It made a long day for me as I logged on at 6.00 my time and logged off and 11.20 (could not keep my eyes open any more)!”


Access to all twenty-four videos is available for one fee. The cost is just £100 (less than £5 per presentation). This entitles you to unlimited access to the entire video content at your leisure. For more details and to review the recorded presentations visit: https://bit.ly/2OlrP2T.
