PressArea and Four Communications are hosting leading travel journalist and broadcaster, Simon Calder, at our exclusive breakfast briefing event on Thursday 27 September at the Four Communications offices near London Bridge at 8.30am.

Here’s your chance to meet Simon, pose your questions and hear his views on what the future holds for those in the travel industry - trends, events and communication opportunities.  

Simon commented, “In decades of covering the travel industry, I have never seen such rapid change and high uncertainty— nor such deep misapprehensions on the part of the public. There has rarely been a better, or safer, time to be a traveller, but not everyone sees it that way.

Never has the role of communicators been more important, and I’m glad to work with PressArea and Four Communications to focus on key issues from Brexit to the threat of international terrorism. I will use evidence from the past and present to survey the future.”

We look forward to meeting you in September.
