ITM SETS THEME FOR ANNUAL CONFERENCE GALA
Association Maintains Mojo
The Institute of Travel & Meetings (ITM) UK & Ireland has announced the theme for the gala dinner night of its annual conference being held in Chelsea May 12th - 13th. Building on the incredible success of its "Strictly ITM" event held last year, the association has turned to Austin Powers to ensure it keeps its event "mojo".
The "Austin Powers" themed gala dinner will entice attendees to dress in swinging 60's style fancy dress (with optional black tie of course!), and organisers are planning to present a "mojo" award to the best-dressed Austin Powers character. The event will for the first time also allow sponsors to purchase tables to ensure industry professionals based in London who cannot attend conference are able to make the most of the networking event of the year.
Speaking about the theme, ITM Chairman and part time "International man of mystery" Jamie Hindhaugh said "ITM engages in a number of serious matters during our annual conference and the gala dinner gives us a chance to relax, catch up with new and old friends and have some fun. Austin Powers symbolises the journey from the swinging sixties, which links into the Chelsea location in its hey day, through to today. So it is "the" perfect theme for the icing on the cake event of this year's conference,"The Journey" - Oh yeah, Groovy baby..................."
Dr Evil, (aka ITM CEO Paul Tilstone) responded, "That Austin is so annoying. Here I am trying to take over the world and he's creating the best party the industry has ever seen. Mini-me and I will certainly be there."
