CHS Leeds is set to continue its impact on the meetings and events industry with the launch of its Hosted Buyer Programme and the announcement of more elite exhibitors to help event industry professionals fulfil their RFPs and put together their event programmes.
Visitors continue to look forward to the show’s much loved Hosted Buyer Programme, which will once again include return First Class train travel for London buyers from Kings Cross, in partnership with Conference Leeds, the show’s Strategic Brand & Hosted Buyer Partner. Hosted Buyers will also have access to an exclusive FAM Trip, providing an inside look at Leeds’ newest hotel openings, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Leeds, along with the refurbished Hilton Leeds City and unique experiences at Liquor Studio Leeds.
The programme will also feature premium networking events, including the Conference Leeds and Leeds Hotels & Venues Association Hosted Buyer Connections Lunch, a Connections Brunch hosted by ASM Global, and an Afternoon Tea and Show Round, which will showcase the refurbished areas of the Royal Armouries Leeds.
Additionally, an insightful Education Programme, sponsored by UTAC Millbrook, will provide attendees with the latest industry trends and innovations, focusing on the show’s theme of Welfare and including an exclusive on up-and-coming changes to the Martyn’s Law legislation.
“We’re really proud of the programme we’ve put together for our buyers,” commented Emma King, Founder & CEO, CHS Leeds. “This is all about momentum, injecting even more energy into the industry and providing as much support as possible for event organisers to do their job, improve their careers, seek education, and network with industry peers.”
Finally, with a packed show floor and over 150 exhibitors present, buyers will have the opportunity to engage with leading brands including new and established brands. Among the newcomers are Wonderland Venues, Catch The Mice, Swingers – the crazy golf club, The Milner York, Visit Belfast, The Saddle Room at Tupgill Park Estate, The Mole Resort, and The Rail Zone, a new stand dedicated to Rail Travel for MICE delegates. Also joining the event for the first time are Mama Shelter, QEII Centre in London and No Ordinary Hospitality.
The event is also proud to welcome back a number of industry giants who have chosen to return to CHS Leeds.
