HR in Travel ‘takes things to new level’ with one-day event

New networking group HR in Travel has launched HR in Travel - Engage, a one-day event for HR professionals to meet, learn and discuss their roles in the sector.

Taking place in London on February 26, the event aims to help HR professionals to learn from one another, build meaningful relationships and access practical solutions tailored to the travel sector.

It will be held at the offices of event partner Grant Thornton with three core themes identified through feedback from the HR in Travel network – Culture & Engagement, AI & Technology, and Personal Development.
