Former Labour spin doctor to address ITM conference
Former Labour Party communications chief Alastair Campbell will be a keynote speaker at the Institute of Travel Management conference in Dublin on April 16-18.
He will join futurologist Ian Pearson as the two keynotes at ITM’s 34th annual conference, being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Northwood, near Dublin Airport.
More than 300 delegates have registered for the event, which also sees a significant increase in the number of sessions taking place over the two days, according to the ITM.
The line-up also includes a one-off edition of Have I Got (Business Travel) News For You and Enter The Dragons, in which delegates will pitch their ideas for new products and services to a panel of industry experts.
Conference sessions will be filmed for ITMtv, the association’s new broadband TV service on which members can view footage from the event.
ITM’s head of marketing Mark Harris said: “This year we have four separate content streams, each of four sessions across a common theme.
“We have streams dedicated to corporate issues, meetings, sourcing and the future, so delegates will be able to choose the content most relevant to them.
“ITM’s conference has become increasingly popular amongst buyers because we pack a huge amount of educational, networking and business development opportunities into two days.”
