It’s go time!

15/04/2026

The countdown is on.

In just a few weeks, we’ll be in Palma bringing together people from across the maritime sector, different roles, different backgrounds, one shared focus: safety.

This isn’t just another seminar. It’s a space to challenge thinking, share real-world lessons, and strengthen how we prepare, respond, and lead when it matters most.

From psychological resilience and decision-making under pressure, to incident reporting, battery safety, and operating in extreme environments, the conversations are grounded in reality, not theory.

If you’re serious about safety, this is where you need to be.

There is still limited space available, join us in Palma.
