On 18 October the Macdonald Manchester Hotel and Spa held the first networking event by the Oysters, a network of international tourist boards and convention bureaus working out of the UK.
The event attracted guests from right across the north of the country who were keen to enjoy the opportunity to meet informally with key tourist office and convention bureau representatives and events organisers from all over the world. Participants made important contacts with Oysters and their meetings specialist partners from across the globe, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, France, Malta, Oman, South ica, Sweden and Switzerland.
Guests were treated to music, food and drink across the globe.
A major ingredient in the evening’s success was the assistance of the evening’s sponsors and organisers. The headline sponsor was The Meetings Show, which is due to be held for the first time in July 2013. The event was organised by Beyond Certainty, a creative events organiser who also acted as a sponsor.
