RX’s World Travel Market London announced the appointment of Chris Carter-Chapman as new Event Director.
The annual WTM London event returns to Excel London on 4-6 November, 2025.
He is an accomplished business leader, having worked in the media and events industries in a variety of sectors over the past 15 years.
He has held several senior roles including as Head of Content, Commercial Director and Event Director, with experience of launching and running events across Europe, North America and South America.
He joins WTM London after almost five years at event specialist Intelligence Squared and, before that, as Event Director at Centaur Media.
At Centaur, Carter-Chapman oversaw the marketing portfolio which included responsibility for two large-scale events – the Festival of Marketing and Marketing Week Live.
He has been appointed to the role previously held by Juliette Losardo, following her transition to RX Arabia.
Chris will report directly to Jonathan Heastie, Travel Portfolio Director at RX UK.
Heastie said: “I am excited to announce Chris’ appointment as we work towards WTM London 2025 – which marks 45 years since our first WTM in 1980.”
“He has a very successful track record in running B2B trade shows and conferences – and his achievements show that he has the commercial and management skills to lead the WTM London team”.
“I am delighted to be joining RX. As the world’s most influential travel event, WTM plays a vital role in the lives of travel industry professionals across the globe,” Carter-Chapman said.
