Travel's must attend event for connection, insight and influence
ABTA’s annual Travel Convention is the UK travel industry’s leading event for decision makers—bringing together the people shaping the future of the industry.
This October, senior-level travel professionals will gather in Madeira for three days of invaluable networking and forward-looking content. Industry leaders and world-class guest speakers from beyond the sector, will offer fresh thinking and sharp perspectives to strengthen strategic decision-making and prepare the industry for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
With one event delivering multiple benefits at an individual and business level, you’ll gain useful time away from the everyday to connect with your peers and travel journalists in a wide range of settings.

This year’s Travel Convention is heading to Funchal, Madeira, where the event will take place at the superior 5-star Savoy Palace. The hotel has been designed with connections in mind, offering plenty of spaces throughout the property to meet with fellow delegates.
Madeira is an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean with a subtropical climate, rugged mountains, lush forests, and beautiful coastlines. It has much to offer Convention delegates, including a rich history and culture and a wide range of places and activities to enjoy prior to and during the event.
