AIMS Conference confirmed for 13th and 14th August 2015 in Hobart and will be opened by the Governor of Tasmania. This year the inaugural AIMS “Awards for Excellence” will be held in conjunction with a Gala Dinner.

This Conference is OUR industry’s big show case event and we will be out there for all to see. With many esteemed guests participating this is our chance to show off our talents to the broader shipping and maritime community and the program has an excellent range of sessions designed to meet a wide range of the industry sectors.

It provides a great opportunity to meet new members and students and showcase both AIMS and our professional development schedule for 2015. 

So – big ships or small - we ask that as many members as possible make the time to attend this two day event. The topics covered at the Conference have been specifically designed to broaden members’ competencies in line with our ongoing development of the CPD program and speakers include AMSA and Government Representatives as well as International and National experts in a wide range of specialist fields.
