The organisers of International Confex 2005 are calling for event specialists to submit speaking proposals for next year's event.

The three day conference, which runs alongside International Confex, attracts top speakers from throughout the industry and is an excellent opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge and insights into the current state of the industry.

Participants at last year's event included Peter Mainprice, chairman of ABPCO and Trevor Foley, director general of the aeo. Attendance and comment from delegates at last year's event were overwhelming. Amanda Kelly from Northgate Vehicle hire described one session as "one of the most moving lectures that I have ever attended. Oxygen Learning opened my mind to many various options and thoughts."

This year's conference will focus on the end user, providing advice and solutions to end user queries and challenges. Speakers submitting papers should bear this in mind when writing their submissions. International Confex 2005 are once again looking to showcase top level managers and important industry issues, particularly those presented or co-presented by end users.

Those able to offer detailed case studies are also sought to provide the audience with the most relevant and educational content.

The conference will be roughly split over the following broad categories: event management, supplier management, incentive travel, destinations and common themes.

Submissions are required by 20th September, 2004. Papers can be submitted and further details found on www.international-confex.com
