“The Seminar Theatre line-up looks fantastic this year; I can’t wait to hear what our celebrity experts will have to say. Topics are due to range from what gardens groups should visit to amazing rail journeys across the world. As well as being highly entertaining, all of the speakers will aid group organisers in their future travels.”

“As a new member of the Group Leisure & Travel team I’m looking forward to putting faces to names and getting to know the people who make up this wonderful industry.”
Emma Cash, exhibition organiser said…
“I’m excited about seeing all the exhibitors in one room – it’s always such a good feeling to see the whole show come together under one roof after a year of hard work putting it all together. I can’t wait to meet Hugo the St Bernard on the Switzerland Travel Centre Stand, and perhaps even have a go at a game of skittles with the Serious about Events team.”

“I’m looking forward to meeting our readers and exhibitors with whom we’ve built strong relationships with over the years, as well as new faces who share our passion for travel. Besides our team, each exhibitor works extremely hard to create wonderful stands, and I’m looking forward to seeing them all as I go around the hall.”
