As part of the C-MAR Group’s continued plan of expansion in the Middle East the Group exhibited at the 2010 IMCA Annual Seminar that was being held at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Dubai on the 23rd and 24th of November 2010.
The theme of the Seminar was ‘Delivering Value in Marine Operations’ and the extensive programme had been assembled with a variety of plenary presentation sessions, including the day one keynote address on the seminar theme, parallel sessions on marine, diving and ROV/survey topics, topic-specific workshops, an exhibition by IMCA supplier members and a range of social and networking functions. The event was open to all in the industry to ensure a full range of experience and broad expert input to each debate.
The number of companies exhibiting was limited to 22 due to a limit in floor space and to try and make sure all exhibitors got good exposure to the 350 delegates attending the 2 days of the Seminar. Along with C-MAR there was a good selection of companies exhibiting including Kongsberg, GL Noble Denton, Global Marine and Fugro Seastar and due to the positioning of the exhibition in relation to the Conference Centre all the Delegates had to pass between the stands to enter and exit all the Seminar Addresses and Workshops.
The C-MAR Group was well represented at the Seminar with Chris Hawdon (Chairman), Brian Thornborrow (Managing Consultant, Middle East) and Predro Radovnikovic (Marine Manager) attending the Seminar addresses and Workshops while Mike Hawdon was manning the exhibition stand and liaising with the other delegates.
Following the completion of the 2 days the general view was that it had been a very successful seminar and in the opinion of several regular attendees the best attended and most relevant IMCA Seminar they had been too. It was felt that it had been good for raising the brand awareness of the C-MAR Group in the Middle East, with many relevant new contacts being made and old acquaintances being renewed.
