Annual event
Each year members of the Travel Retail Consortium host a social event for key buyers and retailers. You can expect first-class corporate hospitality at an event that’s designed to be sociable, fun and relaxing. The event provides an entertaining daytime programme which in the past has included High Tea at Lords, Sailing the Solent, Race Day at Newbury and Wine Tasting in Jersey. In the evening, TRC hosts a convivial black-tie gala evening and tradition dictates that bacon rolls and coffee are served at 1a.m for those still socialising.
What buyers and retailers appreciate:
- An entertaining event that allows them to recharge their batteries
- Networking with a cross-section of global suppliers
- Introduction to possible new suppliers and products
“Once again the TRC have excelled themselves. Great guest speaker, all round great day! Well done to all involved.”.
“Met some great new people and caught up with old friends too. The TRC team were great hosts and had thought of every need.”
“My first Travel Retail Consortium event did not disappoint. The entire weekend was beautifully organised from start to finish.”
“Once again, the TRC held a great event that allowed everyone to interact, meet new people and have great fun.”
“As always it was a good opportunity to meet some of my suppliers and share information with them. I always look forward to attending the Travel Retail Consortium events!”
