The all-day events are an opportunity for agency representatives to hear from experts across a wide range of sectors, including cruise and adventure.

Sessions will discuss market trends and offer advice on selling and marketing, as well as opportunities to network.

The first is Abta’s luxury travel conference on March 21, followed by its solo travel conference on June 5.

Victoria Bacon, Abta director of brand and business development, said: “We host a diverse programme of conferences and seminars to help travel businesses stay up to date with the latest market trends and developments, as well as improve their product offering and deliver better holidays for their customers.

“These free places offer a great opportunity for Abta member travel agents to attend and gain the latest insights from the industry, while also meeting other Abta members.”

Spots are also available at Abta’s cruise conference (September 18), adventure travel conference (September 26), domestic travel conference (November) and over-50s in travel (also November).

Abta recommends senior staff – owners, directors, general managers, team leaders and those in business development roles – apply for the free places by emailing events@abta.co.uk.
