Closing the conference is a session looking at “strategy” and featuring four high-profile leaders of major UK attractions; Leeds Castle, The National Marine Aquarium and Chester Zoo. Each attraction has a very different USP but all share the common aim of creating unique, memorable days for their visitors.
Moderated by Martin Barratt of MBL, who was recently named as a new Non-Executive Director at Paragon Entertainment, the session will feature each speaker outlining their plans and highlighting major projects and initiatives under development. A panel discussion and Q & A session will follow.
The panelists are:
• Victoria Wallace, Chief Executive of Leeds Castle, one of the most visited heritage sites in the UK dating back to the 12th century. Victoria is a Council member of the Association for Independent Museums, author of their Success Guide on Visitor Experience.
• David Gibson, Managing Director of The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, the UK’s largest aquarium. David has worked in the UK Zoo and Aquarium sector for the last 20 years, with roles at the Deep Sea World Aquarium, Blue Planet Aquarium and The Deep.
• Jamie Christon, MD Chester Zoo. Jamie will talk delegates through the Zoo’s “Islands” project, one of the biggest zoo development projects in Europe.
