THANK YOU TO OUR 2025 SPEAKERS

I loved it and if you are a small agency like ourselves, it should be an appointment in your diary for next year.
It was thoughtful, engaging and fun.
The content sessions were brilliant and relevant to each audience (agencies, corporate and suppliers).— - Falkenberg & Florence
I came away inspired and motivated to plan and deliver events in innovative ways with new suppliers and venues to consider.
— - The Food Foundation
C&IT Festival of Forums 2024 was a great event to attend for buyers in the industry that are in need of new ideas.
It was a great opportunity to meet with a variety of suppliers, giving us a fresh taste for industry trends and new concepts. I thought the agenda had been very well put together, and hosting it in a location that is not always considered for events was a great way to showcase what Bristol and Bath have to offer.— - The Turner Agency
Taking part in the C&IT Festival of Forums is a valuable opportunity to network with leading individuals from the UK events industry, connect with the best suppliers and experience a showcase of an conference/events destination within the UK.
— - Plannd
The C&IT Festival of Forums not only provided a platform to meet with direct suppliers who I would not usually have the immediate requirement to contact, but it also created a comfortable and open space to talk about real life experiences and future goals within the industry.

The C&IT Festival of Forums reminded me why I love our industry so much - the variety of attendees,
facilitated conversation and a wonderful opportunity to showcase a new UK city - thank you!— - Live Group

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Packed with insightful sessions and practical insight - as well as plenty of space for networking and matchmaking meetings - this year’s agenda has something for everyone, whether you’re an agency, a supplier or a corporate planner.
I hope you’ll join us in Newcastle for a couple of days of connection, conversation and collaboration with some of the brightest minds in the events industry."

C&IT Editor
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 £1,000,000, as well as build several other valuable connections."Ellen Donaldson
