The Conference and Hospitality Show signed off its third annual event with what the organiser claims is the “UK’s first meetings industry flashmob”.
The organiser of the one-day exhibition for the meetings industry, held at Leeds United Football Club, enlisted exhibitors and staff from the host venue to partake in joint singing and dancing during the ‘hospitality hour’ of the show.
Exhibitors, including sales staff from Leeds United Football Club, Radisson Blu, Conference Leeds and Chilled Events took to the floor along with the organiser and entertained visitors with choreographed singing and dancing routines.
Cartmell says the show has doubled in size since its inception and this year attracted more pre-registered visitors than ever before. The show attracted 100 exhibitors, 400 meeting and event planners including high profile agencies such as Universal World Events, W & O Events, Expotel and Travel Leads and 100 VIP buyers.
Other highlights of the show included a culinary demonstration and question and answer session by celebrity chef James Martin, a keynote breakfast address by the Chief Executive of Meet England, James Beresford, and a presentation from UK President of Meeting Professionals International, Samme Allen. Lectures took place throughout the day covering everything from event planning to the use of social media platforms to personal well being.
