3rd – 5th August 2011 the CONFERENCE & INCENTIVE TRAVEL buyers forum was held at Chelsea Football Club, with accommodation in the almost adjoining Millenium & Copthorne Hotels on site. Whilst we didn’t eat at Marco Pierre Whites Restaurant within the complex, we did have a tour of the grounds and changing rooms… some delegates had to be dragged around screaming, and some couldn’t stop grinning, but this was only a small part of the 2 day event.
We met with suppliers from around the UK as well as Europe and further afield.
We met suppliers from The Emirates:
* Dubai is still a big and popular market with flights around 7 hours from Europe to Singapore so a good halfway point for some.
* Abu Dhabi maybe has a little more history but Dubai is still a little more relaxed – but both work for groups.
All the major European destinations were represented from Berlin, Vienna, Dublin, Barcelona, Paris as well as Canada, Macau, Las Vegas and Hong Kong.
There were plenty of networking opportunities and plenty of knowledge gained over the two day event.
