Bringing you the latest news on Spinnaker Events

Spinnaker host several events throughout the year including the Annual Maritime People & Culture Conference every May, the OSCAR Dragon Boat Race every September and two Leadership Programmes.

We also work with numerous industry experts to promote their specialist training programmes on topics such as ESG and Decarbonisation, as well as Security Training for those working onboard vessels.

Other Learning & Development events also run throughout the year which include Menopause Awareness and DE&I workshops.

The Maritime People & Culture Conference

This event is the largest worldwide gathering of maritime HR & crewing professionals. Taking place in London every year, the event is an excellent opportunity to network with senior leaders within the maritime industry.

This event welcomes those working in the maritime sector including CEO’s, Heads of HR and Heads of Marine Personnel.

OSCAR Dragon Boat Race

The OSCAR Dragon Boat race takes place every September in London.

This annual event has already contributed over £1.5m which goes towards the total raised by the OSCAR Campaign which now exceeds £3.4m.

The funds raised through the OSCAR Campaign support blood, bone marrow and cellular research at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. The new treatments they and their partners in other research centres develop, save the lives of children today that only a few years ago could not be saved.  

Maritime Leadership Development Programme

This programme has been designed for those in the maritime sector looking to build and improve their leadership and management capabilities.

It’s an ideal programme for employers who are looking to identify and grow talent for future leadership positions.

The programmes run twice a year and are delivered online.
