AE Conference in March returns to Cranmore Park
This year sees the third IHEEM Authorising Engineer (AE) Conference take place; it will be held at Cranmore Park (pictured), on the outskirts of Birmingham, on 20 March. Themed ‘Why do we need an Authorising Engineer?’, it will see a series of sessions presented by key speakers from across the sector, using case studies and sharing their experiences to help facilitate discussions. Registration is now open, with the full programme to be announced shortly. IHEEM Registered AEs can attend for free, while the cost for IHEEM members is just £99 plus VAT, and for non-members, £149 plus VAT. Delegates from both the public and private sectors are invited to attend. To book, telephone IHEEM on 023 9282 3186, email:
events@iheem.org.uk, or book online at

Previous attendees said it was ‘good to see cross-discipline interaction’, welcomed the conference being free to AEs, and said they were ‘delighted’ that this was now an annual event. A range of exhibitor and sponsorship packages are also available; contact IHEEM for details.
Renew your membership today NewAwards Committee:Memberssought
IHEEM has for many years recognised the contribution of its members and colleagues in the sector with the presentation of awards to outstanding individuals, particularly those who have developed the work of the Institute, and is now seeking to form a Committee to take this initiative to the next stage.
The Awards Committee’s work will focus on: n Considering the current awards structure, and ‘recommending appropriate changes as IHEEM moves into the next 75 years’.
n Developing a new structure that recognises the current environment in which IHEEM and its members live and work.
This Committee will require a wide variety of members who have: n An interest in recognising the achievements of others.
n An understanding of how the recognition of performance may be a motivating factor for others.
n A desire to contribute to the Institute’s wider work.
The commitment will include periodic face-to-face meetings, but the bulk of the work is likely to be carried out by electronic communication. If you are interested in getting involved, email:
