A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR




"After the blockbuster success of C&IT International Forum 2025, I'm thrilled to confirm that our next International Forum will once again be taking to the waves for another aquatic expedition to Lyon in partnership with Scenic Cruises. 

Delegates can expect just as much insight and connections - as well as plenty of memorable moments - as we journey to the captivating shores of France's 'second city'. I can't wait to see you there - although move fast, as this event is not one to be missed."

Ceri Jones
Senior Editor, C&IT



"A great event and experience onboard the Scenic Opal. There was a great mix of sessions, meetings and networking in a fabulous venue. It was great to experience a product that's a little bit different firsthand, and to see a live event and how it could work. Very well organised and an event I have recommended to colleagues!"
