The Melbourne Marine Insurance Forum holds its “winter warmer” next month.

Participants will gather at the Saint & Rogue Hotel in Little Collins Street on July 14 for the networking event.

The forum, which brings together a wide range of professionals involved in marine insurance, is aiming for more than 200 new members in 2016/17, after the group was last year backed by more than 190 paid-up members.

Thursday is the due date for renewal payments and entry into an iPad prize draw.
