Conference and Hospitality Show announce keynote speakers
HBAA chair Jacqui Kavanagh of Trinity Event Solutions and Miguel Neves of IMEX Group are to be among the keynote speakers at the Conference and Hospitality Show (CHS), which takes place in Leeds on 24th March.
Jacqui Kavanagh will be discussing how to get the best deal for your clients as we negotiate our way out of a Recession, while Miguel Neves will talk about social media engagement. Also taking to the stage are industry experts Luke Flett of Ashfield Meetings and Events agency and author Jennifer Holloway.
Show director Emma Cartmell commented: “This year’s show has a wealth of education aimed at the professional organiser who wishes to advance their knowledge and career.
"The subjects were decided with the help from our advisory board and we have created mini hour-long conferences with short and punchy sessions focused on winning business, careers, innovation and engagement. We also have a PA stage with a whole day of PA focused education.”
The exhibition will feature more than 150 national companies including venues, hotels, technology providers and many other meeting industry suppliers, running alongside a programme of education sessions.
For the sixth edition of the show, the organiser has launched a new look floorplan with 25 per cent more exhibition space. Around 500 visitors are expected to attend, including 400 fully qualified hosted buyers.
