The 5-star Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento hotel is well-known for its architecture and design that evokes the Guggenheim Museum in New York, capturing the interest of the visitor at first sight. Situated on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, a short walk from the Alameda de Hércules, famous for its bars and restaurants, and just a few minutes from all the historic sites of interest. The high-speed train station (AVE) is just 2.5 km away and the San Pablo airport is 10 km away. We can all look forward to high level networking and debate at the Main Conference, Gala Dinner as well as the highly successful ‘ISSA Meet the Customer’ event which will, once again, pair ISSA members opposite specially invited procurement officers from our list of ISSA Honorary Members of shipowners and managers. The Gala Dinner, which will be held in the evening of Sunday October 27th, is a firm favourite of ISSA Convention attendees and offers the perfect opportunity for excellent dining and socialising.

And what a treat it will be for visitors to this year’s Convention, with top quality business networking, excellent debate and discussion at the headline ISSA Conference; a stunning industry exhibition; amazing Gala Dinner; as well as the much-heralded ISSA ‘Meet the Customer’ event. ISSA 66 Convention will comprise a Headline Conference, ‘Meet the Customer’, Gala Dinner and Industry Exhibition. The ISSA conference will be held in the mornings of the 26th and 27th, with the ‘ISSA Meet the Customer’ being held in the afternoons, all guaranteeing two days of the best networking and business interaction. “The chosen venue is perfect and it will prove to be the excellent backdrop to the industry-leading headline conference, ISSA 66 exhibition, headline Gala Dinner and the piece de resistance the ISSA ‘Meet the Customer (MTC)’. Over 20 of our buyer customer companies have agreed to participate in MTC and you can read their profiles in this issue of the magazine,” said Rafael Fernandez, President of ISSA.
