We are now one step closer towards the successful execution of the much-anticipated World Maritime Rescue Congress, planned for June 2019 in Vancouver at the Vancouver Convention Centre’s East Building.
It is with great pleasure that I share the announcement of our project partners: International Conference Services. International Conference Services, or ICS as they are more commonly known, have been a professional conference organizer in Vancouver since 1976. They were chosen from a short list of four of the top professional conference organizers in the province.
The decision was difficult as the quality of service that we enjoy from all of these organizations in Vancouver is exemplary. However, after exhaustive interviews, it was determined that ICS was the organization that best aligned with RCMSAR’s goals and objectives for this event.

ICS come highly recommended and have delivered many events in the city with a specialty leaning toward non-profit organizations.
Our CEO, Pat Quealey, was hosted by the International Maritime Rescue Federation at their Mass Rescue Operations Conference in June where Pat invited our colleagues from around the world to join us at this important event in 2019. Enthusiasm was high and we look forward to hosting the global maritime community in Vancouver along with our partners. We are fortunate to have such a qualified team in ICS to help ensure the World Maritime Rescue Congress is a resounding success.
