Dear ISSA Friend & Supporter:
When it comes to the ISSA Convention and the ever-popular Trade Exhibition innovation is our watch-word.
Such is the case with the 57th ISSA Convention that we are staging at the Hotel Melia Sancti Petri in Cadiz, Spain, on 25th & 26th May 2012.
Once again we expect Delegates from over 40 countries to be in Southern Spain for Convention but it is clear that we need to create innovative solutions to ensure your sales message reaches them.
There are two main reasons for this creative thought process and early notification to you of what we have in mind:
- The Hotel’s Trade Exhibition facilities lend themselves to a much smaller but more focused event than usual
- Delegates will be spending more time outside the Hotel than usual which means there is a need to deliver your sales and business messages directly to them via, for example, high profile sponsorship opportunities instead of the traditional Exhibition Stand
Having said that, we have ear-marked facilities for a limited number of Stands adjacent to the Plenary Hall.
In addition to this small Trade Exhibition area we would now like to draw your attention to the significant sponsorship opportunities we have developed specifically for ISSA 57. Full details are attached to this letter.
So our message to you is that our premier ISSA annual event is well advanced in its planning. What we now need is your highly valued support once again.
Whether you would like to book one of the Stands or take advantage of one of our many sponsorship opportunities we feel sure we can count once again on your commitment to ISSA to get your vital sales message across to our eager members.
It could not be simpler to join us in Cadiz for ISSA 57 and stake your claim. Just send an e-mail to E-mail address can't be displayed in your browser, please use the phone numbers on the contacts page. and tell us your requirements. It will be our pleasure once again to have you with us.
Hasta la vista!

Hola amigos,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 57th ISSA Convention and Trade Exhibition that will be held in Cadiz next year in May, the 25th & 26th, in Melia Sancti Petri Hotel, fully-equipped luxury hotel in a unique location for tourism and business, within a relaxing atmosphere.
Cadiz, surrounded by sea, is a small town located in the South of Spain on the Atlantic side. A beautiful and warm city, where in 2012 we are celebrating the Bicentenary of the first Spanish Constitution, signed in Cadiz in 1812.
In addition to the luxurious setting, next year’s convention brings together some of the most informative speakers in all areas of our business with top-notch speeches. Our perfect weather and temperature in the early summer time will allow us to enjoy spectacular entertainment and authentic Spanish cuisine; this year may be the most exciting annual convention to date!
As chairman of the Spanish Shipsuppliers Association, I am working with our fellows and my team closely to entice as many delegates, accompanying persons and attendees as possible. I also encourage you to promote in your place and among your members our annual event. This will offer us a special opportunity to meet colleagues from the four corners of the world and open new horizons in order to make stronger our networks and reinforce lasting business relationships.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the 57th ISSA Convention and Trade Exhibition in Cadiz at its best.
Rafael Fernandez
ISSA Executive Vice-President
Chairman – Spanish Shipsuppliers Association (AESMAR)
