Vote for your Onboard Icons of the Past Decade

We are thrilled to be celebrating 10 years of WTCE in 2022. Since our initial event in 2012, the onboard catering and services industry has evolved significantly with countless innovative trends and developments.  But none of this would be possible without the amazing people that work hard every day to make our sector the success that it is.

To honour this, you as an industry have been nominating these Onboard Icons, who you believe have made the biggest contribution to the industry over the past decade as well as those who are continuing to drive it forward today and into the future.

Voting for our Onboard Icons winners has now closed, many thanks for all of your votes!

The WTCE team will be delighted to present the 10 winners, as chosen by the industry, with their Onboard Icon award in the Taste of Travel Theatre, at 10:00 on Tuesday 14th June. 

You can view the full Taste of Travel Theatre programme here.

To attend the session and WTCE, simply register online today.
