The Industrial Heating Equipment Association recently announced its 91st Annual Meeting will be held on the high seas from March 12 – 16, 2020, on Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas, departing from Tampa, FL. IHEA has had several very successful, high-quality annual meetings on cruise ships and is excited to offer this budget-friendly meeting to IHEA members once again.
This four-day event will feature two sea days and a day in Cozumel. As always, the annual meeting promises to deliver outstanding programming, committee work, and plenty of time for social interaction during the receptions and meal functions.
The program will include presentations from some of IHEA’s past favorites: Chief Master Sergeant (Retired) Bob Vazquez, Chris Kuehl, and Omar Nashashibi. Chief is a course director at the United States Air Force Academy’s Center for Character Development, as well as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. He will be talking to attendees about the Power of SUPERvision. IHEA is happy to welcome him back four years later for his unique perspective on leadership.
Attendees will also hear from IHEA’s economist Chris Kuehl, who entertains as well as informs the crowd with his spirited delivery of the economic update. With all eyes and ears on Washington, Omar Nashashibi, a Washington D.C. lobbyist will present an insider’s perspective as the 2020 presidential election unfolds. As a bonus for all attendees, speakers will be available throughout the cruise to continue discussions and answer questions in a more relaxed setting.
IHEA committees will convene on board the Brilliance of the Seas to continue work on issues of importance to the membership and the industry at large. The complete program and event details will be available on the website, www.ihea.org, in early December.
The four-night cruise will depart from Tampa, FL on Thursday, March 12 and will return to Tampa on Monday morning, where guests will disembark to return home. As there are a variety of stateroom classes available onboard Brilliance of the Seas, IHEA has secured cabins in several different categories to provide cost flexibility to members. The cabin price is for one or two guests in the cabin. There is no discount for a single passenger in a cabin.
The annual reeting registration fee includes all committee and general session meetings, and evening receptions. There will be no registration fee for spouses/guests to attend the meeting.
