Advantage reveals destination for 2019 conference
Advantage has announced the venue for its conference next year will be Cadiz, in Andalusia, Spain.
As the 2018 conference in Miami came to a close, Advantage Travel Partnership’s newly appointed CEO Julia Lo Bue-Said next year’s conference would take place from May 17-20 in the Spanish city.
It will be held at the Cadiz Conference Centre in the old town.
The conference centre is surrounded by cobbled streets, with the town hall and cathedral nearby, as well as charming squares and an abundance of tapas restaurants and bars. The conference centre’s multiple auditoriums will host leisure and business travel members for the main speaker sessions, seminars and speed date networking, with a large sunny, outside terrace available for breaks.
Advantage Conference guests can stay in a number of hotels situated in the old and new town, located either a short walk or less than a ten-minute car transfer from the conference centre.
Lo Bue-Said said: "As the Advantage conference is a yearly event in many members’ calendars we chose Cadiz as the 2019 venue because it offers a juxtaposed experience to Miami.
"Cadiz is historical, traditional and a wonderfully European destination. The nearest airport is Jerez with a direct daily flight from Stansted airport and a thirty-minute transfer time. Delegates can also fly direct to Seville or Gibraltar.
"Miami has been a resounding success and we look forward to welcoming Advantage members in Cadiz!"
