The Canadian Institute of Marine Engineering is holding its annual convention in Vancouver at the Holiday Inn Harbourside on June 5, 6 and 7, 1986.
This eighth annual meeting of Canada's marine engineers is being held in conjunction with the world's fair EXPO 86, and will complement the transportation theme of this world-scale exposition.
The Canadian Institute of Marine Engineering is now assembling a program of international and Canadian papers on the theme of "Marine Engineering . . . The Future?" and are interested in hearing from authors willing to present a paper on this subject.
In addition to the A.G.M. and presentation of technical papers at MariTech 86, there will also be an exposition by manufacturers of their equipment and products.
The convention will conclude with a dinner and dance. Saturday, June 7, will be MariTech day at EXPO 86.
