The inaugural BACTA EAG Dinner, will be held in the Sunborn Super-Yacht hotel in Royal Victoria Dock, London, UK, has sold out in what BACTA described as a “hugely encouraging” response.

First EAG Dinner sells out

The dinner, to be held on Tuesday January 16, will be less than a minute’s walk from ExCeL London with has a capacity of 120 people.

John White, CEO of BACTA, believes the rapid take up of tickets augurs well not only for the 2018 edition of EAG, but for the industry as whole.

He said: “EAG sets the tone for the year ahead and I am encouraged at how quickly the EAG Dinner has sold out. Our first offering was to BACTA member exhibitors who snapped up the full availability.

“The Sunborn is a fantastic luxury venue but the capacity is slightly limiting. If the response to this latest BACTA initiative is positive it could well open up the possibility of reintroducing the BACTA Ball, which in its prime was a fantastic celebration of our industry.”
