The SMI Conference is coming to Birmingham in 2024!

Join us on 10-11th September 2024 at Millennium Point in Birmingham for two days of insightful discussions and exhibitions. In keeping with previous years, we will also be hosting a gala dinner on the evening of the 10th September 2024 - venue to be announced.

Tickets for the event cover both days of the conference and admittance to the gala dinner.

This year’s conference theme seeks to explore the role that the maritime supply chain will play in driving the industry’s decarbonisation. The transformation in decarbonisation driven by digitalisation and autonomy will be delivered by innovation in the supply chain. The SMI Conference 2024 will explore key areas of development as well as the topic of environmental social governance (ESG) layered with the business opportunities of offshore renewables and the developing AUKUS programmes.

2. If you wish to pay by invoice, payment must be received before the event.
3. Due to SMI commitments with the venue and caterers we are not able to provide a refund after 3 months prior.
4. Changes of delegate names can be made up to 8 working days before the event but fees cannot be refunded.
5. It may be necessary to substitute different speakers from those advertised or to amend the contents or timing of parts of the programme but fees due cannot be refunded.
6. If, for reasons beyond SMI’s control, it is necessary to cancel or postpone the event or change it to another date or venue, the fee paid will be held as a credit for the delegate’s attendance at future SMI events of his choosing and a credit note to this effect, valid for one year only from date of issue, will be dispatched to them.
