ABTA has announced its complete roster of speakers for the forthcoming Travel Convention scheduled for early October. Among the notable figures are sports broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher and Team GB’s double World and Olympic medallist, Emily Campbell. This esteemed event aims to bring together leaders and managers from the travel industry to discuss pertinent topics affecting the sector.
With less than two weeks remaining to register for this pivotal event, ABTA is proactively inviting business leaders to participate in a ‘World of Work’ survey. This survey is designed to elicit insights from leaders about current workplace configurations, flexible working demands, and the consequent impacts on businesses. The feedback will play a crucial role in informing the question and answer session with Blaire Palmer, a business leadership expert.
Blaire Palmer is expected to present compelling arguments around the required evolution in leadership styles, accentuating the growing tension between what employees desire and what the business landscape demands. Joining her on stage will be Jo Rzymowska, a senior travel industry consultant. Together, they will dissect the nuances of leadership and workplace transformation in times where demands for mental health support and flexible working are more prevalent than ever.
The survey further extends its inquiry into the influence of Artificial Intelligence and legislative changes proposed by a new Labour government on current business operations. This component seeks to understand how these factors are necessitating adjustments in working practices and the support systems available, such as mentoring or coaching, to help businesses adapt efficaciously.
The session titled ‘The Changing Face of Leadership and Work’ on October 9, promises to deliver insightful discussions. Those attending the Travel Convention will be privy to the survey’s findings and hear firsthand advice from Palmer on how to navigate the evolving workplace dynamics. In addition to these discussions, participants will have the opportunity to hear from Kirsty Gallacher about her experiences in sports journalism, along with a session featuring Emily Campbell.
The Travel Convention stands as a vital forum for exploring and addressing the challenges and opportunities in modern workplace and leadership scenarios.
