A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

"All aboard for insight! I'm delighted that my first International Forum as editor of C&IT is going to be held on another Scenic River cruise; last year's voyage through the Netherlands was so popular that we've decided to cast off once again, setting sail from Budapest to Bratislava.
Join us from March 24-26 as we sail along the blue Danube, with a cavalcade of content sessions, networking opportunities and fabulous entertainment set against the backdrop of some of Europe's most breathtakingly beautiful waterways"
Adam Shepherd
Editor, C&IT World
THIS IS WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID...

"I attend at least two C&IT events per year as a supplier and believe they are great to build brand awareness in the UK MICE market. I prefer the slightly smaller event sizes that C&IT offer, meaning I can network more efficiently and touch base with potential buyers on several occasions.
When I attended my last event, I left with an RFP with a value of ÂŁ1,000,000, as well as build several other valuable connections."
Ellen Donaldson
Partnerships, Charters and Group Manager M.I.C.E, Scenic River Cruises
