THIS MONTH AT ITT...

This month I’ve been busy finalising details
for a number of this year's ITT events, and we’ll announce the special guests who’ve agreed to speak in later edITTions. In the meantime, I’ve
just finalised the business programme for the
June Conference in Cyprus so this is at the front
of my mind. I’m excited by the fact that Sir Ken Robinson has
agreed to present (see below) – he truly is one of the
most riveting speakers I’ve ever seen, so I’m very much looking
forward to his ITT session!

STOP PRESS!

 

ITT is delighted to announce that Sir Ken Robinson has agreed to speak at the ITT Conference in Cyprus. Sir Ken is a truly inspirational speaker with an unrivalled ability to convey powerful messages with extraordinary warmth, passion and wit. That is why we’re flying him all the way from Los Angeles! Sir Ken argues that industrialism has produced a crisis in the use of human resources and that most organisations do not get the best out of people because they do not really know the best that is in them.

 

ITT CONFERENCE SOLD OUT

The top class speaker line-up in Cyprus endorses the ITT Conference as the prestige event of the travel industry calendar and once again the conference has sold out! We
are currently operating a waiting list. If you would like to add your name to the list, email events@itt.co.uk with your
contact details.
