Etihad CEO James Hogan to be keynote speaker for Business Travel Market

Now in its third year, the conference & exhibition for European travel buyers has already announced a number of big names who have committed to this year’s event, which takes place 22 and 23 June at London’s ExCel.

Paul Robin, event director, Business Travel Market, said: “We’re thrilled to have James Hogan on board as he’s a major industry figure and we very much value the experience which he brings with him from his time at bmi, Hertz, Forte Hotels, Gulf Air, and now, Etihad. There’s a huge focus on the Middle-East at the moment and it will be fascinating to hear his thoughts about the future for the region and to share his experiences with our attendees. The interest in the Middle-East is certainly something which is reflected by our exhibitors and sponsors this year and it’s great to have such an influential and knowledgeable speaker to open our two-day event.”
