TMI ANNUAL CONVENTION CONFIRMED FOR 5 – 6 OCTOBER IN LONDON
Now’s the time to clear your diary on 5 and 6 October for a ‘new look’ Annual Convention, to be based in London’s Docklands. Following wide consultation last Autumn, this year’s event will see several significant changes:
SHORTER – the formal convention will run over just 1 ½ days, with an intensive programme of plenary and workshop sessions on day one and the following morning, followed by a series of optional study tours to regeneration and Olympic sites on the second afternoon.
LESS EXPENSIVE – thanks our main sponsors, The Carrier Group, and sponsorship from New Mind and Hilton Hotels, the lead price for TMI members will be UNDER £300, including one night’s accommodation. This represents a reduction by around 40% of last year’s rate.
BROAD AGENDA – as befits the annual convention of the UK’s professional body for those in destination management, the programme will be a broad one, covering most of the issues critical to the profession in 2010 and beyond. Many of the Action Themes included at this year’s Hot Topic on 20 May will be pursued in more depth, in addition to sessions on new technology, marketing developments, sport and regeneration.
Attendees at the Hot Topic event will be offered a special voucher entitling them to a few ‘extras’ – so please make sure you’ve booked for this too! See details below or visit www.tmi-hottopic.co.uk
Full details and registration opportunities will follow soon, but please make sure you and your colleagues keep these dates clear.
Our Annual Convention should be just that – an event when the UK’s destination management professionals gather together to hear about and share expertise on the major issues facing their industry today. Make sure you don’t miss out!
