Our next CTA event will be our Spring Networking & AGM which takes place at the Imperial Hotel, Llandudno on 21-22 May 2023. 

CTA is delighted to confirm sponsors for the Llandudno event. Christmas in Birmingham is sponsoring the Networking Dinner on Sunday evening. And CTA Partner member Visit Wales is sponsoring the buyers’ attendance at the event.

The event starts with a Fam trip, open to all delegates, on Sunday afternoon (21 May) which will take in some key attractions and highlights in North Wales. The Fam will head first to Anglesey to visit the charming hidden gardens at Plas Cadnant, with a light lunch followed by a tour, and we will return via the Llanberis Pass and the National Slate Museum. Finally, we will be back in Llandudno for a tour and tasting session at CTA member Penderyn Distillery. (If you can’t make it for the coach departure at midday, it will be possible to join the Fam for the final session at Penderyn.)

The AGM takes place on Monday morning at the Imperial Hotel, and is followed by an informal Supplier Showcase which will have suppliers at tables and buyers circulating (similar to the one we held at Bournemouth in November). This will be a chance for some valuable business networking and will be followed by a light lunch to conclude the event.

* We have some attractive sponsorship packages available, so if you are interested in supporting the event in this way, please contact Helen Bowron (helen.bowron@coachtourismassociation.co.uk)
