MareNet Events prove popular with delegates
If you are interested in attending an effective networking event for the marine industry then why not consider MareNet?
MareNet events are popular and attract crowds of 60 to 80 delegates each time. The secret of MareNet's success is that topics covered remain fresh and informative. In addition, delegates are often treated to site visits as well as demonstrations of new technology. Discussion and dissemination of information is encouraged with events providing an open forum for debate and discussion
Recent themes have included innovation, business improvement, skills and training, the Daedalus site, Portsmouth Dockyard, environment and sustainability, skills and Olympic opportunities. Traditionally, MareNet events are free and include presentations, questions and answers sessions followed by refreshments and networking.
Seven MareNet meetings have already taken place in 2008 with more planned for the months ahead. However, to help keep us on our toes we are asking businesses to comment on issues they would like to be covered in the future. Ideas which have already been requested are international trade, supply chain issues, business efficiency and site visits.
Companies often comment they would like events to address skills shortages, but events like these seem to attract the lowest turnout. If you have any suggestions on how this topic can be addressed in a more appealing way please email sarah@marinesoutheast.co.uk .
The next MareNet event will be on Monday, 23rd June from 4pm to 6pm and include refreshments and canapés. The event will examine the Waterfront research findings and will be held at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton. If you are interested in attending the event please email admin@marinesoutheast.co.uk .
