We’re thrilled to announce the latest accolade for our Creative Director, Anna Peters, who has been awarded the prestigious title of Events Influencer of the Year at the Conference News Awards 2024. It’s a remarkable achievement, especially considering it’s her second consecutive win!

With a staggering 78% of event emissions attributed to travel, Anna advocates for a shift towards eco-conscious transportation. By highlighting the significant environmental benefits of train travel over flying, she has not only raised awareness but also inspired tangible change within the industry.
