The number of those who will attend the Thursday and Friday dinners is also up by more than 10%, with conference organisers McCullough Moore booking extra rooms at the conference venue, the Crowne Plaza, Heythrop Park, for the 24th and 25th April to cope with additional demand.
Adam Mason, director general at CEDA, said: “We are delighted with how bookings stand and with two weeks still to go I would urge anyone who is yet to register to do so sooner rather than later so that we can guarantee a room.
“The two day programme is packed full of networking opportunities, business meetings, seminars and speakers and will of course culminate in the Gala Dinner and Grand Prix Awards, the entries for which have been outstanding. We have members, partners, consultants, media and representatives from end-user associations all attending. It is a true pan-industry event.”
The conference line-up includes a panel of industry thought leaders; Peter Martin (Peach Reports), Nathalie Gibbs (Black Sheep design agency), Paul Goodale (Epicurean Holdings), Allister Richards (Gather & Gather) and inspirational keynote speakers; Geoff Ramm, Tim FitzHigham FRSA FRGS and BBC News’ Click Show presenter LJ Rich.
CEDA has also added an additional attraction for members on Thursday 23rd April with a BIM workshop that will start at 9.30am.
