2023 is an exciting year for the International Shipsuppliers & Services Association (ISSA) as it will be the first time in three years that we have held our annual Conference and Gala Dinner in person.

And I am delighted to announce that the beautiful Emirate of Dubai is waiting to welcome the ISSA family between October 24th and 25th as the host city for the 65th ISSA Conference and Gala Dinner, kindly sponsored by DP World.

The sumptuous Habtoor Palace has been chosen as the place where it will all happen. Describing itself as a palatial jewel by the water, the Habtoor Palace Dubai is centrally located in the landmark lifestyle development on the banks of Dubai Water Canal. Accommodation will be available at the Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, which has beautiful roof top pools, spa and gym facilities.

The ISSA conference will be held in the mornings of the 24th and 25th, with the ‘ISSA Meet the Customer’ being held in the afternoons, all guaranteeing two days of the best networking and business interaction.

The Gala Dinner, which will be held in the evening of Wednesday October 25th, is a firm favourite of ISSA Convention attendees and offers the perfect opportunity for excellent dining and socialising.
