CHS Leeds has announced its educational programme for the event, taking place 25th March 25, at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, and which will focus on the show’s theme of Welfare. Sessions will touch on every aspect of Welfare, from safe travel, delegate protection, relationships, and even a special session on Martyn’s Law.
CHS’s educational programmes have become one of the key reasons why visitor numbers across the business’s brands continue to grow. The show’s organisers continue to focus on the professional and personal development of delegates attending, with the focus on welfare being the latest in a series of themes that underline this investment.
Within the programme will be two keynote sessions, as well as panel discussions from senior influencers within and outside of the business events, travel, and hospitality industry. Cally Louise Stewart will kick things off with a session on Female Relationships and the importance of them at events and within event teams.
One of the key set pieces of the programme will also see CHS hosting an update on the recent changes to the Martyn’s Law legislation and its probable effects within the meetings and events sector. As well as representatives from the Home Office, the session will include up to date insight from Dannielle Bounds, ICC Wales, one of the leading voices on the subject and Sandra Eyre, from the Meetings Industry Association (mia).
CHS is also delighted to welcome back Sam Murray, Intimacy Coordinator, who spoke at the brand’s Birmingham event last autumn. Sam will be joined by Leigh Cowlishaw, representing the Rail Delivery Group, Kate Whitby, from The Venues Collection, and Natalie Paxton, BCD Meetings and Events, on a specialist discussion on safe travel and delegate protection.
The day will finish with an ‘action’ session with guest panellists Sian Sayward, Inntel, and David Charlton from UTAC Milbrook, who will take all the learnings of the day and turn them into actionable processes and ideas that increase awareness and best practice around welfare.
“We’ve had an amazing response to our announcement that CHS Leeds will be themed around Welfare, and the educational programme will lead the way in these conversations,” commented Emma King, CEO & Founder, CHS Leeds. “We’re delighted to welcome such a high standard of speakers and thank them for their time and the expertise they will bring to our show. It’s going to be another brilliant programme.”
CHS Leeds will take place at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, 25th March 2025.
