Members Informed And Inspired

NZ Marine members from far and wide gathered on 8 August for a one-day NZ Marine Conference at NZ Marine HQ in Auckland.

A strong line-up of speakers included international guests Darren Vaux, Australian-based President of the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA), and UK-based Joe Lynch, CEO of ICOMIA. Darren Vaux and Joe Lynch gave delegates valuable insight into the global marine industry and future outlook, and an overview of ICOMIA’s Pathways to Decarbonisation Study.

An eye-opening session on Artificial Intelligence by Supahuman AI CEO Dave Howden inspired delegates to embrace the power of AI and need to adopt AI to stay competitive. Attendees were fortunate also to be joined by Sarah Trotman ONZM, CEO of Business Mentors NZ, who joined a panel session, facilitated by Dave Howden, with Michael Eaglen of EV Maritime and Ken Sinclair of Marinerslog, to discuss their AI experiences.

Delegates also enjoyed presentations on current immigration laws, cyber security insurance, business mentoring services, free trade agreements, and guidance on how businesses should navigate the current economic climate.
