We are thrilled to be hosting our first ever retreat for event agency leaders, following the launch of nineteen, a collaborative membership group for agency leaders to connect, develop and influence at an executive level.

nineteen provides opportunities to interact within the director-to-director arena, through networking events and development programmes. In addition, members will have access to our members-only VOICE forum to connect with like-minded leaders and gain access to exclusive content.

Our inaugural Agency Leader’s live meeting is The Retreat at Birch, a two-day experience on 9-11 June themed around three areas of leadership: courage, heart and mind. In an era where post-pandemic FOMO persists,  face-to-face time is precious and content still remains king, our time together will provide insight, experience, conversation and learnings in a safe space.

Richard Bridge, Managing Director of the TBA Brands Division & Guy Horner, TBA Group CEO will open The Retreat and share their story on the recent Top Banana and TBA merger which saw Top Banana join the TBA Group in March this year. They will journey through the events that led them here, their challenges as Leaders and their outlook for the future.

Chris Penn, Co-Founder, Performance Hotels – creators of Steel and Birch will be pulling up a chair in his ‘home from home’ and joining a lively and engaging Q&A session on how he successfully opened a member’s club and hotel amid a global pandemic.

In addition to this, we are partnering with Birch to give you all of it is ‘best bits’ to include a choice of experiential sessions with purpose allowing time to disconnect and reconnect with yourself and your peers within 55-acres of some of North London’s greenest spaces.
