ABTA will host its first ‘blended’ conference in October with delegates able to attend in-person or online.

The one-day event will take place on 13 October at a yet-to-be-announced venue in London.

The in-person event will include a full day of business sessions, lunch and a post-event reception.

Delegates following online will have access to the main stage sessions, live as they happen.

It will also include a digital library of additional content and online networking.

 ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: “We’re really pleased to be able to offer people the choice as to whether they attend the Travel Convention in person or online this year.

“The opportunity to network and speak to people face to face has been sorely missed and, as usual, will be at the heart of the convention, along with keynote sessions from leaders in the industry.”

 The 2022 Travel Convention will take place in Marrakech, Morocco.
