OUR LEGACY OF GLOBAL EVENT BRANDS
Bench has been a leading organiser of hospitality investment and aviation development business events. For over 25 years, our events have been known as the premium industry forums for sector development across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
OUR LEAP INTO VIRTUAL SPACE
In 2020 alone, we have hosted 10 virtual events and over 25,000 attendees. Bench ran Hospitality Tomorrow, our first virtual conference in April 2020 which attracted more than 6000 registrations from across the world. The success of this has allowed us to create a full series of online forums including 3 more Hospitality Tomorrow events, Real Estate Tomorrow and Africa Tomorrow.
