Generously donated prizes from ITT Members include experiences and stays from MSC Cruises, Jet2, Oasis Resort and Spa, Don Carlos Resort and many more, alongside a host of additional exclusive prizes provided by our auction partner, Superstars.

Leading the live auction will be the fantastic Kevin Durham, a renowned comedian, host and auctioneer, whose humour, charisma and energy are guaranteed to make the evening even more special. Kevin’s appearance as auctioneer is generously sponsored by SALT. agency.

We hope the generosity of the ITT community will help make this a hugely successful evening for Alder Hey Children's Charity and the families they support.

We’re adding a little movement to the Conference programme. Sweat, smiles, and a healthy dose of ‘I can definitely beat them’.”

Monday AM – Padel, Sponsored by TProfile, in aid of Alder Hey

After last year’s success, Padel is back! Fast-paced, social, and a little competitive, this is your chance to raise funds for Alder Hey while showing off, or discovering, your paddle skills. Bring your game face and maybe a bit of healthy rivalry.

Tuesday AM – Yoga - in aid of Alder Hey

In partnership with Alder Hey Children's Charity, delegates are invited to take a moment to unwind, recharge, and ease into the Conference in a more mindful way. Through this special charity initiative, it’s a chance to stretch out, reset body and mind, and enjoy a relaxed start to the day.

Wednesday AM – Basia's Bootcamp

Start the final morning with Basia’s Bootcamp. Energetic, challenging, and guaranteed to leave you with a sense of achievement… and some bragging rights.
