INTRODUCING ICMS CAFE
Are you missing out on networking events? Every month the ICMS will host a Virtual Café where there will be a topic selected by the host and then have an open discussion with anyone who stops. This will be a fun, one-hour social event for anyone from the industry and open to members and non-members. The Cafe will be hosted on the Zoom platform to enhance the networking experience.
The inaugural ICMS Café is scheduled for November 18, 2020 and will start at 4 PM EST. The first Café discussion will be on Traumatic Cardiac Arrest in Motorsport. Over the years I have seen drivers, crew members, owners, series officials and fans all have cardiac issues while at the track. We look forward to your input on this topic!
