Bookings are now live for the CTA Spring Networking event which takes place on 19-20 May in Oxford. We are based at the Holiday Inn Oxford and the event includes Fam trips to Bodleian Libraries and Blenheim Palace, including a Blue Badge Guide tour courtesy of Roger Bailey. Blenheim has a host of events this year, and CTA Spring Networking attendees will visit the Blenheim estate’s biggest ever exhibition, Icons of British Fashion. Johnsons Coaches will provide coach travel for the weekend.
There is an option of Sat night accommodation for those who want to take part in the early Fam on Sunday morning to the Bodleian. A further Fam is on Sunday afternoon to Blenheim Palace and Oxford. On Sunday evening, there is a reception and networking dinner.
For early arrivals on Saturday, there is also an opportunity for free entry to Continuum Attractions’ Oxford Castle and Prison. This will also be available on Monday afternoon.
The AGM and Seminar takes place on Monday morning and is followed by an informal Supplier Showcase which will have suppliers at tables and buyers circulating.
[Update 24/04/24: Please note that due to strong bookings received to date, we cannot offer any further tables at the Supplier Showcase as we are now at capacity. Supplier members are still very welcome to attend the event and use the other opportunities for networking, including the dinner and the Fams.]
