Advantage announces theme of 2016 Conference
Blink has been chosen as the theme of the Advantage 2016 Conference, which will take place in April onboard the cruise ship MSC Fantasia.
In a statement, Advantage said the programme for the four-day event would place an importance on ‘having a clear businesses vision in what is becoming a fast changing world’.
"The theme Blink has been chosen to capture the essence of this dynamic environment," it said in a statement.
Colin O’Neill, business development director, said: "The key purpose of our conference this year is to recognise the challenges that all businesses face now and in the future and to address those challenges head on.
"Having access to effective technology is becoming an increasingly important requirement for any business which is why we are taking the opportunity of launching our new technology platform Gateway 2, at the conference.
"Having an effective vision is also about keeping your eye on the changing needs of your customers and other conference sessions will concentrate on the changing trends in customer behaviour, the importance of strong business partner relationships and creating the right brand profile for your business.
"Finally, our proven business session formula will also include four hours of speed dating meetings, breakouts specific to leisure and business travel members and, of course, inspirational keynote speakers, the first of which we plan to announce very shortly….so watch this space."
