Annual Meeting

The ETA meets once a year for its Annual Meeting, mostly a three days programme which includes a meeting of the Executive Committee, the statutory Annual General Meeting of Members and a meeting with the Associate Members as well as a Social Day. These meetings are always held in different European places where ETA members are operating. The members based in that country host the meeting. In the framework of these Annual Meetings the ETA organises presentations for its members and associate members about topics related to the towage industry and being of general interest to the participants.
