A new, comprehensive online tool launches today that promises to transform the working lives of event planners and organisers in the maritime industry.
The Maritime Calendar has been created by specialist marketing and communications agency Wake Media Ltd to provide industry professionals with a one stop shop for sourcing and researching the magnitude of events, conferences and exhibitions that take place across the global marine and energy sectors each year.
Constantly updated and featuring all key event information, with a host of category filters and export options available, selected events can be saved as favourites and downloaded from the Maritime Calendar, for easy integration with Outlook and other applications.
Event organisers can register to enable direct access to edit and update their own events. Organisers will also benefit from the Calendar’s promotion to a database of 12,000+ maritime industry professionals and marketers.
Karina Thomas, Head of Marketing Communications at Wake Media, said, “We’re passionate about harnessing data and new technology to enable our clients and the wider maritime industry to keep pace with best marketing practice. We’ve worked hard on the development of the Maritime Calendar to make it an extensive database of global shipping, marine and energy sector events that’s both agile and user friendly. After rigorous testing, we’re confident that the Maritime Calendar will fast become an essential tool for events professionals to facilitate next-level strategic events planning.”
To celebrate the launch of the Maritime Calendar, users can access a free 7-day trial, in addition to a half price annual subscription offer which is available until the end of November. Two subscription options are available: standard, to search and select from the online database only, and premium, which enables full data export.
