Atas reveals details of 2026 event schedule

The Association of Touring & Adventure Suppliers has confirmed the details of its 2026 events schedule and opened bookings for agents to attend the annual conference.

The timetable kicks off with the invitation-only Leaders Dinner on April 15 in London.

This annual event will again feature updates on the sector and the association, and it will be followed by a dinner with headline sponsor Travelzoo, and other sponsors Visit Malta and Virgin Atlantic.

The ‘Atas Presents’ series of regional gatherings will start in Manchester (April 29), then will visit Southampton (May 13), Glasgow (May 20) and London (October 7).

Claire Brighton, Atas director, said: “These highly successful and sought-after events were first held in 2022 and offer agents an entertaining and educational night out with operator members.”

The Atas Summer Social will be held just before the Travel Weekly Agent Achievement Awards on July 9 in London, then the Winter Social on December 3.

The 2026 conference will be held in a new venue, Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, (September 21-22) with the theme of ‘Accelerate’, reflecting on the sector’s rapid progress, innovation and growth.

The theme also demonstrates the aim of the association to help agents accelerate their knowledge and growth in touring and adventure.

Agents can now register for the conference, with the agent package including two nights’ accommodation at the Hilton Garden Inn, Silverstone. For any agents in the local area, a package is available without accommodation.

The event will feature two half-days of main stage content, a trade fair, Atas Recognition Awards, and two evening events: A night of Incredible Journeys sponsored by Gold Medal and the Gala Dinner sponsored by Virgin Atlantic and Delta.

Brighton added: “I am delighted to confirm the dates and locations for our key events of 2026.

“It’s been great to see how the Atas events portfolio has grown over the years as we cater for demand from our agents and members to meet face-to-face – to network, learn, do business and have fun.”
