Built around a series of informative sessions, the inaugural forum will feature several high profile speakers including global procurement manager Richard Eades.
Also on the agenda is a ‘hands on’ hour focusing on the implementation of strategic meetings management programmes - HBAA’s most recent white paper - mediated by Faye Sharpe, managing director of Zibrant.
The event will kick off at 9.30am and draw to a close at 4pm with refreshments and networking.
Chris Peacock, chairman of the HBAA, said: "The corporate forum will be an informative platform for procurement specialists and agent members to discuss some of the current issues affecting the meetings and events industry today.
"At the same time, we also hope that delegates will find this an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, sharing best practices and their experiences of the meetings industry."
