With the 28th Annual convention in Barcelona just weeks away the Steering Committee is putting the finishing touches on this years program. Beyond the normal business of the organization we are planning three concurrent round table discussions covering a number of member suggested ideas such as PAQMAN (frequently asked questions), a packing material source guide and a marketing catalogue\directory.

In addition, Thomson & Pratt Insurance Brokers will give a presentation of a value added member service that our membership may wish to consider. ICEFAT members will have a chance to examine an exciting, unique group fine art insurance program tailored to the specific needs of our members and our industry.

In closing, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the new member companies and their representatives. You will be able to spot our newest members at the annual convention by looking for people with red ribbons on their name tags. I encourage all participants to meet, welcome and open your arms to embrace our new and returning friends.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Barcelona.

Best regards,

Mark Starling, Chairperson
ICEFAT Steering Committee
