Gala Dinner and Award Winners at Worldchoice Conference 2023

Following on from the speakers and networking session, the 160-strong contingent at the Worldchoice Conference regrouped to ready themselves for the Gala Dinner and Awards.

Princess Cruises sponsored the Worldchoice Conference Gala Dinner 2023. The iNUA Collection sponsored pre-dinner drinks and TUI & Crystal Ski sponsored the dinner wines. The Band and DJ are sponsored by Bookabed and Hertz, respectively.

The evening also had a raffle for “Robbie Our Hero” to raise money for our loved and very much missed friend and colleague, Robbie Smart.

ITAA President, Angela Walsh outlined, in relation to the people present, “The wisdom, the knowledge and the experience that these people bring to the table is invaluable and it will continue to be.”

She commended Carol Anne on such a successful event and in plain English, “You nailed it” to rapturous applause. She also highlighted the engaging and relevant content from the speakers during the day. She shared that one of her goals is to foster & promote a culture of learning, sharing and embracing change.
