This year’s Annual Dinner and AGM will see TIMCON returning to
Edinburgh!
Annual Dinner - 10th September 2024
We are excited to announce that our Annual Dinner will take place on
board the Royal Yacht Britannia.
A Floating Palace:
Britannia was launched from the John Brown & Company shipyard in
Clydebank, Scotland, on 16 April, 1953. For over 44 years the Royal
Yacht served the Royal Family, travelling more than a million
nautical miles to become one of the most famous ships in the world.
To Queen Elizabeth II, Britannia provided the perfect Royal
residence for glittering state visits, official receptions, Royal
honeymoons and relaxing family holidays. For Great Britain, she was
a majestic symbol of the Commonwealth and a proud ambassador
generating billions of pounds in trade deals. For the Royal Family
and 220 dedicated crew of Royal Yachtsmen, she was home.
It is this backdrop and setting that makes dining on board a once in
a lifetime experience. From artisan breads to delicate petits fours,
every element of every dish is made on board in the original Royal
Galleys by a talented in house team of chefs. The food served on
board uses the very best Scottish suppliers, many of whom are Royal
Warrant Holders supplying the Royal Family.
11th September - Annual General Meeting
Our AGM will be held in the Intercontinental Edinburgh The George.
InterContinental Edinburgh The George has stood as a hotel,
historically known as ‘The George Hotel’, since 1881. It’s made up
of a collection of five Georgian townhouses that were originally
built in the 18th century. From Robert Burns to Sir Walter Scott,
this landmark hotel has played host to the bold for over 200 years,
and we have block booked accommodation for TIMCON guests, which you
can reserve at registration via the TIMCON event registration portal
(opening shortly) at a cost of £279 per night including breakfast.
Our programme is near completion, which will include topical
industry speakers as well as representatives from legislative/policy
making bodies and a keynote speaker. More to come on this!
In the meantime, book your place early to ensure your place, and
your accommodation.
We look forward to seeing you there!
