Tipto unveils events calendar for first half of 2020

Supplier marketing organisation Tipto has released the first details of its roadshow and Supershow events in 2020.

As the group moves into its 21^st year, it will start its events for agents in February, and venues have been confirmed up to June 2020.

The line-up features 17 Face 2 Face roadshows – including solus events for Tailormade Travel, Althams Travel, Newells Travel and The Travel House – as well as three Supershows.

At each roadshow, agents can meet up to 12 of TIPTO’s supplier members and make new agency contacts.

They will learn about new products, offers and sales tips during a networking evening with drinks, two-course dinner and competitions. Prizes include a £500 holiday voucher, shopping vouchers, fam trips and more.

Tipto also holds a prize raffle to support a chosen charity and this year the organisation is again supporting Reuben’s Retreat.

The Supershows start with welcome drinks and the chance to network, followed by the Exhibition Zone, which offers the opportunity to see all 20 Tipto suppliers.

The evening ends with a meal and interactive entertainment, offering the chance to win £1,000 off a holiday, a fam trip and more.

Events are free to attend for Tipto-registered agents. Agents can book a place on the website at tipto.co.uk, email tipto@tipto.co.uk or call 020 8742 4077.
