The leading event for meeting and event organisers in the North of England, the Conference and Hospitality Show, has announced the introduction of the show's inaugural Advisory Board.

Emma Cartmell, managing director CHS Group, explained: "We have reached the point in our journey where we need to ensure that the Show’s growth continues to be in line with the needs of our buyers and exhibitors. We are a very well loved show – both exhibitors and visitors cherish the intimate feel of the show and the close knit atmosphere.

"The show is growing its exhibitor and visitor numbers and so we want to make sure that we retain the qualities that set us apart from other events. The Board consists of industry specialists and experts all chosen for their extensive industry experience and knowledge. I’m very much looking forward to the first meeting and benefiting from their expertise."
