Islander Networking and Inspiration Party (INIP) report
If whisky and gin tasting aren’t conducive to networking and inspiration, who knows what is?!
Taking place just days after the Palma International Boat Show, our May INIP felt like a boat show after party. Many new faces joined the regulars to further strengthen their relations. Whisky Religion (read about them in the May /June issue) allowed our guests to taste and learn about different whiskies, bourbons and gins and put everyone in great spirits! Perhaps this was helped by the sunshine which clearly signalled the start of the summer season.
The June INIP was hosted by Phoenix One. Through an impressive technical hardware installation, simulating a helm station, they provided an interactive experience through which our guests could learn about silent propulsion.
For us, The Islander team, the INIPs are a great thermometer to guage the enthusiasm of our audience. The last few events were perhaps the most rewarding since the magazine changed ownership. We are receiving wonderful feedback not just about the look and feel of the magazine, but also about the results our advertisers are booking from the printed, online and networking exposure we provide.
One advertiser commented that going to boat shows is a compulsory and often expensive networking task. They continued with the thought that being an Islander Business Member is an economical and more continuous way to maintain that same network throughout the year.
Should you wish to join our growing family of Islander Business Members to enjoy all of our networking benefits as well as reduced rates on advertising and branded content, feel free to reach out to me via jens@theislander.online.
