Upcoming Events

IMCA organises a regular programme of meetings and events around the world including regional meetings and technical seminars. Our regional meetings provide opportunities to connect with our members. Our technical events form part of our global work programme and are primarily subject-specific seminars and workshops which bring together subject matter experts to discuss solutions to industry issues.

Our events provide an open forum for our members to meet and share professional ideas and opinions.

IMCA also supports and contributes to third-party events – these are primarily conferences and exhibitions run by other organisations. We promote these events for the interest of our members and in support of our industry.
