The Blackpool-based agency and cruise specialist, which operates the Southampton Cruise Centre brand, has promised to “reset the compass” regarding conferences, arguing there are too many in the calendar. It has now switched to a biennial format and will hold the 2026 event at Ibiza’s Grand Palladium Palace hotel from 6-9 May.
Chief executive Phil Nuttall said: “Earlier this year, I shared my concerns about the unsustainable pace our industry has set for supplier partners with events, awards, conferences, etc, especially in the months leading up to Christmas.”
