Cocktail reception & buffet dinner

This year, we are offering two social occasions to which all delegates are invited. Accompanying persons may also attend just the cocktail reception or both the cocktail reception and the buffet dinner provided they have booked accordingly.

Cocktail reception, Sunday 24 September

Our cocktail reception will be hosted within the splendid surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, itself within a stone’s throw of Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster. This is a great opportunity to catch-up with old friends and to make new acquaintances in an informal environment and before the conference gets underway.

Buffet dinner, Monday 25 September

The centre-piece of our conference is the buffet dinner which, this year, we are delighted to announce will be held at the International Maritime Organization’s headquarters on the banks of the river Thames.

Use this event to build relationships and discuss business, politics, shipping and the world in general over cocktails on the terrace, followed by a sumptuous buffet dinner. Limited seating will be available.
