Travel Network Group reveals conference theme
The theme of The Travel Network Group’s fastest selling conference in Budapest next March will be ‘Beyond the Expected’.
CEO Gary Lewis said: "For 2019 / 2020 our vision and purpose is all about going further and delivering even more value for our members and ‘Beyond the Expected’ perfectly encapsulates the core of our proposition."
The conference will take place from March 21 to 24. Lewis said 300 members have already signed up, leaving 50 places up for grabs. In total, the Group is expecting 520 delegates.
Lewis also confirmed that Three AmaWaterways river ships have now been secured to host the welcome party on the first night, which he said ‘ is set to give delegates an amazing feel for what the city has to offer’.
Delegates will experience a private dinner, entertainment, accommodation and a sailing up the Danube for an illumination cruise.
"This will be just one of the WOWs that we have planned, and there are plenty more," added Lewis.
Further details, including the speakers, the workshops and other highlights that are being planned, will be released in the coming months, said the Group.
