We’re pleased to welcome Big Weather Gear as a sponsor of the Newport Harbor Networking Cruise and the conference raffle at the 11th Annual International Crisis Management Conference (ICMC).
Taking place on the evening of June 16, the Newport Harbor Networking Cruise is one of the standout experiences of ICMC Newport 2026. The evening charter gives attendees the opportunity to step away from the conference setting, continue conversations in a relaxed environment, and connect with fellow professionals while enjoying views of Narragansett Bay. Transportation will be provided from the hotel to the departure location, and space is limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
Big Weather Gear, the Official US retail partner of Henri Lloyd, has been outfitting teams, crews, and individuals since 1985. From offshore racing sailors to maritime professionals who understand that preparation is everything. The principles that guide their work on the water – readiness, reliability, and performance under pressure – are the same principles that drive the critical work of crisis management professionals worldwide.
At ICMC, meaningful networking is part of the experience, not an afterthought. The conference is designed to bring together crisis management, resilience, and operational leaders for practical learning and valuable connection, and the harbor cruise is a natural extension of that.
We’re grateful to Big Weather Gear for supporting this special part of the conference and helping create an opportunity for attendees to build relationships that continue beyond the sessions.
“Whether on the ocean or land, it’s vital that you are fully prepared and have the right equipment to navigate any situation”, says Rob McMahan, Director of Sales. “At Big Weather Gear, we understand the importance of reliability, readiness, and equipping people for the environments they work in every day.”
