Three such examples are World Radio Day\, World Puppetry Day and International Firefighters’ Day. And of course\, a little closer to home\, there is World Maritime Day too.\n\nIIMS thought it was overdue tha t marine surveyors have their own special day – a day that celebrates an d recognises the importance of their work and profession and promoting the vital role they perform to the wider marine world. So\, IIMS has decided to create the Marine Surveying International Fest 2018\, a 24 hour marine surveying jamboree. The date for this innovative and eye-catching event\, which is brought to you in partnership with Constellation Marine Services and Nautical Institute\, is Tuesday 6th into Wednesday 7th November. No ma tter what time zone you are in around the world\, or area of surveying you work in\, we hope to offer something of interest to you. The day will equ ally appeal to those who work with surveyors\, or touch the profession in some way.\n\nHow it works\nMarine Surveying International Fest 2018 is an online only event and will be anchored and hosted from the IIMS head offic e in the UK. It is a rolling 24 hour non-stop marathon starting at 11.00 h rs (London UK time) on Tuesday 6th November and running non-stop until 11. 00 hrs (London UK time) on Wednesday 7th November.
