Our annual Members’ Conference moves to a new venue this year and will take place on Tuesday 07 July at Courtyard by Marriott hotel near Heathrow Airport.

This members only event will bring members together to share insight, strengthen collaboration, and showcase best practice across safety and skills in the ports sector. This year introduces a simplified registration process, allowing individuals to sign up directly. Each member organisation has a confirmed allocation of complimentary tickets, with details shared internally, and additional tickets available to purchase if required.

Members are encouraged to secure their place early by registering here.

Alongside the conference, PSS is pleased to confirm the return of the PSS Awards, delivered in collaboration with TT Club. Now in their second biennial cycle, the awards celebrate excellence across three categories: Best Safety MomentBest Skills Initiative, and Best Members’ Collaboration.
