Barbara Cassani, the boss of former budget airline Go, is to deliver the keynote speech at next year’s UKinbound convention.
Cassani, now chairman of Jurys Inn, was also leader of the London 2012 Olympics bid team and non-executive chairman of Spanish airline Vueling.
She will join other high-profile speakers at the event to be held at the Ramada Piccadilly in Manchester on February 11-13, including Lord Sebastian Coe, Tobias Ellwood MP and Don Foster MP.
The trade association’s chief executive Mary Rance said: “Barbara Cassani will be a fantastic addition to the UKinbound convention programme.
“She has had immeasurable success at leading businesses and will be able to inspire our members during this time of financial worry.â€
